Consider the following data relating to performance of a centrifugal pump: speed = 1200 rpm, flow rate = 30 l/s, head = 20 m, and power = 5 kW. If the speed of the pump is increased to 1500 rpm, assuming the efficiency is unaltered, the new flow rate and head, respectively, will be 46.9 l/s and 25.0 m 37.5 l/s and 25.0 m 46.9 l/s and 31.3 37.5 l/s and 31.3 m
