[12 Marks]
The pump whose performance data is plotted in Figure 4 was operating at a
rotational speed of 1950 rpm and had an impeller diameter of 15 m. First, state the
affinity law for centrifugal pumps when the impeller varies, then use the equations of
the affinity laws to determine the head that would result in a capacity of 4000 L/min.
Then, compute the performance of the pump impeller diameter changes to 35 m.
