Consider a 6.88 inches impeller diameter pump (Pump-1) operating at a speed of 3000 rpm is used in a piping system and provides a volume flow rate of 720 gpm at a pump head of 152 ft. What would be impeller diameter of another pump (Pump-2) from the same pump family that has to operate at a volume flow rate that is twice of the volume flow rate of Pump-1? The speed of Pump-2 is 4000 rpm.
