Sharpe's grysbok mainly inhabits thick brush or broken, hilly country; it is usually solitary but sometimes lives in pairs. It is active in early morning and in late afternoon and at night. Little is known about its breeding habits, but a single young is produced at birth.
Oviparous; 20-70 hard-shelled eggs about size of goose eggs deposited in center of nest made of mud and masses of vegetable debris piled to height of 3 feet; warmth produced by decaying vegetation incubates eggs; mother guards nest until young hatch in 9-10 weeks; when ready to emerge, young make loud peeping sound; mother tears nest open and liberates them; young may remain with mother until following spring.
The total head produced by this Pump is the sum of the heads developed by the individual impellers. A second basic type of radial Pump is the equivalent of parallel operation of two identical pumps. In this type of pump, known as the double-suction pump, the impellers are again placed back to back on the same shaft. However, the casing is constructed so that water enters both impellers from the common suction pipe and the flow from both runners discharges into the same volute chamber. In the double-suction Pump the total flow rate is twice that of a single-suction pump, but the head produced is the same. A single-stage, double-suction Pump is shown in Fig. 11.
