A centrifugal pump running at 750r.p.m. discharges water 0. 1m /s against a head of 10 m at its best efficiency. A second pump of the same homologous series, when working at 500r.p.m., is to deliver water at 0.05m³/s at its best efficiency. What will be the design head of the second pump and what is the scale at ratio between the first and the second?

A centrifugal pump running at 750r.p.m. discharges water at
0. Im3/s against a head of 10 m at its best efficiency. A second
pump of the same homologous series, when working at 500r.p.m.,
is to deliver water at 0.05m3/s at its best efficiency. What will
be the design head of the second pump and what is the scale
ratio between the first and the second?
