If you do a simple web search for centrifugal pump design, you will find many sites with information you can use.
I just did that and found several.
For those who don't really know much about pumps, head is the pressure at the pump in feet of the fluid being pumped. Since most pumps are tested using cold water, the information on performance sheets and curves is in feet of water.

centifugal pumps I have used have an impeller, and the amount they pump is based in HP of motor, 6hp motor w/ 6" impellar can pump 60,000 litres an hour. Depends on the density of the fluid pumped as well, will pump oil faster than water and water faster than mud. But I don't understand the 'head' in your question.

Manufacturers catalogs generally have curves of head versus flowrate for different pumps. Often pumps are tested at manufacturer's works prior to dispatch and an actual curve of head versus flowrate obtained.
