A centrifugal pump is used to move water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir at a rate of 10 cfs. If the water surface elevations of the two reservoirs are separated by 100 feet, and the pump operates at an overall efficiency of 70%, determine the required power input (in kW) to the motor. Assume no losses.
A pump operating at 1800rpm delivers 600 gpm against a total head of 200ft. Changes in the piping system have increased the total head to 260ft. At what rpm should the pump operated to achieve this new head at the same efficiency?
6. A centrifugal pump discharging 900 gpm and operates at 1800 rpm against a head of 120 feet has a power output of 30 hp. If the pump is to operate at 1200 rpm assuming efficiency remains constant. Determine the new discharge in gpm, the head and power.
