Abstract
At present, two major causes of a drooping curve are recognized. One was discussed in Chapter 9 in connection with Figs. 9–17 and 9–18 and supported by the test results presented in Figs. 9–15 and 9–16. The second factor that can cause a drooping curve usually appears when a pump is designed for a high head coefficient and is due to the hydraulic losses associated with the flow of the pumped liquid through the waterways of the pump.
