Answer:
1) In series, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.
2) In parallel, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.
Explanation:
1) Pump in series:
When two or more pumps are connected in series, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective heads at the same flow rate as shown in the first diagram attached.
In the first diagram, we have 3 curves namely:
- system curve
- single pump curve
- 2 pump in series curve
Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3.
- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.
- Point 2 represents the point where the head of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the head of a single pump flowing at the same rate.
- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.
Now, since the flowrate is constant, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.
2) Pump in parallel:
When two or more pumps are connected in parallel, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective flow rates at same head as shown in the second diagram attached.
In the second diagram, we have 3 curves namely:
- system curve
- single pump curve
- 2 pump in series curve
Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3
- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.
- Point 2 represents the point where the flow rate of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the flow rate of a single pump.
- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.
In this case, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.
Answer:
16 minutes
Explanation:
This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.
The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."
Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...
(4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min
The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.
You can write two equations for height:
y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)
y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank B)
These will be equal when ...
y = y
12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x
4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8
16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height
The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.
