In a liquid transmission pipeline, a pump had been designed for a throughput of 10,000 bpd. However, the demand has increased by 25%.   It has been proposed to increase the impeller diameter and speed in order to meet the new demand. However, the impeller diameter increase is limited to 10%.  The original speed of the pump is 1200 RPM and the original power is 60 kW.   Calculate: a)      The new speed of the pump. b) The new shaft power of the pump. The new shaft power of the pump.
