Calculate The Speed Of Water Pump

Question

A 150 kW water pump is expected to generate a head of 105m across the pump when running at best efficiency point, BEP, at a speed of 2500 rpm. If the efficiency of the pump is 77%, determine the specific speed and suggest the type of the pump best suited to this duty.

Assumptions: Take g = 9.81 m/s² and the density and kinematic energy of water as 1000 kg/m³ and 1 × 10^-6 m²/s

Summary

The question belongs to Chemistry and it discusses about calculating the speed of a water pump and suggest the type of pump best suited.
