Step 1
In general, the head of a pump is directly proportional to the square of the pump speed. This means that if the pump speed is reduced by a certain factor, the head will be reduced by the square of that factor. In this case, the pump speed is reduced from 4500 rpm Show more…

CAL the pressure amplitude of a 2.00 kHz sound wave in air, assuming that the displacement amplitude is equal to 2.00 x 10^-8 m. 2. A pump has a displacement of 50 cm^3/rev and a volumetric efficiency of 0.90. It is driven at 1200 rpm. What will its actual flow rate?
