Which outcome occurs when a centrifugal pump operates far to the left of its best efficiency point?

💡 Explanation

Reduced flow operation in a centrifugal pump increases impeller radial thrust because static pressure distribution becomes uneven; therefore, radial thrust increases rather than expected performance, because off-design operation makes velocity profiles asymmetrical.
