Question
(b) A small centrifugal pump is used to pump 30°C water at the rate of 6 L/s with a head of 44.54 m. If the diameter of the pump is 20 cm and operate at 1200 rpm, determine; (i) head coefficient, (ii) capacity coefficient, and (ii) power coefficient. (c) This small centrifugal pump in question Q5(b) is also used to pump water at the same rate as in question Q5(b) but at a different temperature which is 15°C. If 3.73 kW is used to operate this small pump, determine in which condition (15°C or 30°C) is the pump perform better in term of; (i) power out, and (ii) pump efficiency. Justify your answer.
