Which of the following statements about manometric head is correct?

Explanation:

Manometric Head:

1. The manometric head is the effective head that accounts for all losses, including friction losses in the system, the velocity head, and the static head.

2. It represents the total energy that a pump delivers to the fluid, factoring in the pumping losses, which include friction losses and other resistance within the system.

3. It is calculated by considering both the suction and discharge pressures as well as the height differences between the inlet and outlet of the pump.

Additional InformationStatic Head:

1. Definition: The static head is the vertical distance between the surface of the fluid in the suction tank and the discharge point.

2. Significance: It represents the potential energy of the fluid at different points in the system due to gravity.

3. Application: Important for calculating the energy required to lift the fluid from the suction side to the discharge side.
