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 36.27 m head and deliver 90 m3/hr. Determine the speed of the new pump. What should be the new impeller diameter if the diameter of the original pump is 140mm?

A centrifugal pump with 30 cm diameter impeller is rated at 30 lps against a head of 24 m when rotating at 1750 rpm. What would be the rating of a pump of identical geometric shape with a 15 cm diameter impeller? Assume pump efficiencies and rotative speeds are identical.
A pump is required to deliver 120000 lpm of water at a head of 25 m. A motor which spins at 450 rpm is available. What kind of pump geometry should be used? Estimate the power requirement of this pump.
Q-- Consider the following data relating toperformance of a centrifugal pump:speed 1200 rpm, flow rate 30 L/s, head 20 m, and power 5 kW. If the speed of the pump is increased to 1500 rpm, assuming the efficiency isunaltered, Find the new flow rate and head.
A large lawn sprinkler with two identical arms is used to generate electric power by attaching a generator to its rotating head. Water enters the sprinkler from the base along the axis of rotation at a rate of 5 gal/s and leaves the nozzles in the tangential direction. The sprinkler rotates at a rate of 180 rpm in a horizontal plane. The diameter of each jet is 0.5 in, and the normal distance between the axis of rotation and the center of each nozzle is 2 ft. Determine the maximum possible electrical power produced.

29Water enters the impeller of a centrifugal pump radially at a flow rate of 250 L/min. The rotational speed of the impeller shaft is given as 400 rpm. Since the outer diameter of the impeller is 60 cm and the tangential component of the output velocity at this point is 55 m/s, calculate the torque (Nm) coming to the impeller.

For a centrifugal pump of impeller diameter D rotating at N to develop a head of H and discharge Q, what would be the new head developed by a similar pump if we double the impeller diameter to 2D at constant impeller speed?
A single-acting reciprocating pump has piston diameter 12 cm and stroke length of 30cm. The center of the pump is 5m above the water level sump. The diameter and length of suction pipe are 7.5cm and 8m respectively. The separation occurs if the absolute pressure head in the cylinder during suction stroke falls below 2.5 m of water. Calculate the maximum speed at which the pump can run without separation. Take atmospheric pressure head = 10.3 m of water.
