2. A centrifugal pump running at 750 rpm with a 1-m-diameter impeller generates
the following pressure rise and flow rate data while pumping water at room temperature:
?(dot)[m^3/s]= [0, 0.0278, 0.0417, 0.0556, 0.0694, 0.0833, 0.0903, 0.0972]
?P [kPa]= [361, 349, 328, 293, 230, 145, 114, 59]
Estimate the pressure rise and flow rate for impeller speeds of 500 and 1000 rpm using the 750 rpm data. Plot pressure rise (y-axis) vs flow rate (x-axis) for all three pump speeds and include all data on a single graph.
