You only know one point on a pump curve, where a water pump produces 20 m of hydraulic head at flow rate of 3.67 L/s, and you want to use this to pump water from a lower tank to an upper tank located 15 m higher. Both tanks are open to the atmosphere. Briefly explain your reasoning, in 1‐2 sentences, for each of the following. a) Should this pump be placed next to the lower tank or the higher one? b) Given the data point you have from the pump curve, will the flow rate be higher or lower than 3.67 L/s if the water is pumped exactly 15 m uphill?

Thank you 1.Question : An existing pump is used to pump water with the following data at BEP: D = 2.15 in, N = 1784 rpm, ρ = 998 kg/m3, Q = 18 gpm, H = 4.2 ft. A larger pump is to be designed based from the existing one to be used for pumping slurry (ρ = 1220 kg/m3) such that its best efficiency point occurs as close as possible to a volume flow rate of 48 gpm and at a net head of 15 ft. Calculate the new pump diameter in inches. Round off your final answer to 3 decimal placesAnswer: 2.554
