QP' = Capacity of pump when use with water
hP' = Head of pump when use with water
NPSH ' = NPSH of pump when use with water
ηP' = Water pump Efficiency
The correlation equations are following.
QP = CQ × QP'
hP = C H × hP'
NPSH = C H × NPSH '
ηP = Cη ×ηP'
Pump System consists of two type, parallel and series.
Piping, General recommendations for good design 1- Parallel System
practice.
1- Branches of suction pipe QT ≠ Q +Q

1- Suction sump
WL = Water Level
1- Series System
HT ≠ H1+H2
Sometime, total series flow more than parallel flow. It
depends on system loss, mean downstream friction
loss.
The detail for calculation suction sump is presented
by the other documents.
To safe the power consumption, adjusting revolution
is the other choice except pipe loss reduction.
