A pressure gauge connected to the inlet pipe reads 0.160 kg/cm² vacuum and a discharge pressure gauge reads 108 kPa at a distance of 100 cm above the point where the inlet pressure is measured. If the kW rating of the driving motor is 12 kW a. Calculate the pump's efficiency b. If this pump runs at 1750 rpm, what will be the new discharge head and power delivered if the speed is increase to 3600 rpm? Assume constant efficiency.
