Given the following parameters for two independent centrifugal water pumps:
Pump A: Pump flow rate is 500 gpm at a water temperature of 70°F.
Pump B: Pump flow rate is 1000 gpm at a water temperature of 90°F.
If both pumps have the same discharge head, which pump has the lower discharge pressure, and why?
A. Pump A, due to the lower pump flow rate.
B. Pump A, due to the lower water temperature.
C. Pump B, due to the higher pump flow rate.
D. Pump B, due to the higher water temperature.
