Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Question

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.
