For a centrifugal pump if the pump is running and we close
the discharge valve what is the effect


Answer Posted / suzz0n

Discharge valve shutdown means , flow rate is zero and as from the pump characteristic curve we can see that for a zero flow rate there is still head developed in it, so pressure will be developed inside the pump without much affecting the centrifugal pump and cause damage in case of Reciprocating pump.
