Chapter 10, Problem 27P
A pump with D = 500 mm delivers Q = 0.725 m3/s of water at H = 10 m at its best efficiency point. If the specific speed of the pump is 1.74, and the required input power is 90 kW, determine the shutoff head, H0, and best efficiency, η. What type of pump is this? If the pump is now run at 900 rpm, by scaling the performance curve, estimate the new flow rate, head, shutoff head, and required power.

A centrifugal pump is discharging 900 gpm and which operates at 1800 rpm against a head of 120 ft and maximum efficiency of 91%. If this pump is modified to operate at 1200 rpm, assuming its efficiency remains constant, determine its discharge, the theoretical head it imparts to the liquid and the power input to the pump.
Assume that friction in the suction line is negligible. Toluene @ 35C is pumped from an open reservoir to a tank kept at a gauge pressure of 150 kPa. The pump itself is 3 m below the reservoir, while the discharge tank is 10m above the reservoir. While in the discharge line the friction head amounts to 7.5 m, determine the net positive suction head available for the pump. If the pump has an efficiency of 65%, determine the total power input. At the given temp, the density and vapor pressure of toluene are 862 kg/m3 and 40 mmHg.
