A pump with an impeller diameter of 300 mm running at a speed of 2950 rev/min delivering 450 L/min of water at a head of 350 kPa is going
to be replaced by a geometrically similar spare pump running at a speed of 1450 rev/min delivering the same flow rate and head. Determine
the impeller size of the spare pump and the percentage increase (decrease) of power required for the spare pump.
