A centrifugal pump delivers 0.071 m3/s of water against a head of 7.6-m at 1450 rpm and requires 6.7 kW. If the speed is reduced to 1200 rpm calculate the flow (in m3/s), assuming the same efficiency.
A radial bladed centrifugal pump running at 1440 rpm is to deliver 30 l/min of water against a head of 20 m. Assuming flow velocity as 3 m/s. Determine the diameter and width of the impeller at the outlet.
A double-suction centrifugal pump delivers 3 m3/s of water at a head of 15 m and running at 1200 rpm. Calculate the specific speed of the pump.
