Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill through a 450mm diameter and a Pressure head of 10meters maintained at the summit. Water discharge is 30meters above the reservoir. The quantity pumped is 0.5 m³/sec. Frictional losses in the discharge and suction pipe is equivalent to 1.5meters. The speed of the pump is 800rpm. Determine the following a. The water power of the pump b. New Value of the discharge if the speed of the pump is increased to 1000rpm c. New Value of the head if the speed of the pump is increased to 1000rpm d. New Value of the power if the speed of the pump is increased to 1000rpm
