A plant has installed a single suction centrifugal pump with a discharge of 68 m3/hr under 60 m head and running at 1200 rpm. It is proposed to install another pump with double suction but of the same type to operate at 37.22 m head and deliver 90 m3/hr. Determine the speed of the new pump. and what should be the new impeller diameter if the diameter of the original pump is 140mm?
