3. The power output is 30 hp to a centrifugal pump that is discharging 900 GPM at which operates at 180 rpm against a head 120 ft., 220Volts, 3 phase, 60Hz. If the pump is modified to operate at 120 rpm, assuming its efficiency is constant, determine the discharge in GPM, the theoretical head it imparts to the liquid and the power input to the pump

3. The power output is 30 hp to a centrifugal pump that is discharging 900
GPM at which operates at 180 rpm against a head 120 ft., 220Volts, 3 phase,
60Hz. If the pump is modified to operate at 120 rpm, assuming its efficiency
is constant, determine the discharge in GPM, the theoretical head it imparts
to the liquid and the power input to the pump
4. A fan is used to provide ventilation in a tunnel requires a 3-kW electric
motor to deliver 360 m³/hr. at a static pressure of 300mm of water has
operated at speed of 500 rpm. It was later found out that the air to be
delivered needs to be increased to a 420 m³/hr. If the fan size remains
constant find the pressure in meters of water.
