A double suction, single stage, centrifugal pump delivers 950m /hr of sea water (SG=1.03) from a source where the water level varies 2m from high tide to low tide. The pump centerline is located 2.6m above the surface of the water at high tide level. The pump discharges into a surface condenser, 3m above pump centerline. Loss of head due to friction in suction pipe is 0.8m and that in the discharge side is 3m. Pump is directly coupled to a 1750 rpm, 460V, 3 phase, 60 Hz motor. Calculate the specific speed of pump in rpm.
