Flow vs Speed
If the speed of the impeller is increased from N1 to N2 rpm,
the flow rate will increase from Q1 to Q2
as per the given formula:
Flow:
Q1 / Q2 = N1 / N2
Example: 100 / Q2 = 1750/3500
Q2 = 200 m3/hr
Head Vs speed
The head developed(H) will be proportional to the square of the quantity
discharged, so that

Power Vs Speed
Power(kW):
kW1 / kW2 = (N13) / (N23)
Example: 5/kW2 = 17503 / 35003
kW2 = 40
