l. Water pump "A" has an impeller diameter of 0.5 m. The electric motor drivi.E the pump has a
mea.suredshaft torqueof 3.8 N.m at a speedof 3540 RPM. The pump head is 34 m when the
flowrate is 0.0033-3/s. For water rrsop: 1000kg/m3-

(a) Determine for pumP uA":

i. The brake power to drive the pump, BP (W)'
ii. The pump hydraulic efrciency, rlp,'rnpercent.
(b) A secondhomologouspump "B' is required to deliver a flowrate of 0.0072 m3/s at a head of
45 m. For this second pump determine:
i. The pump speed,N (RPM),
ii. The impeller diameter, D (m), and,
iii. The breLe power to drive the pump, BP (W). State your a.ssumptions.
