A centrifugal pump has vanes which are radial at the outer periphery. The impeller has an outer diameter of 20 cm and a width of 3 cm at that diameter. If the discharge is 1800 L/min and the total head produced is 3.5 m, calculate the (a) rotational speed of the impeller, and (b) the magnitude and direction of absolute velocity at the exit. Assume manometric efficiency as 0.85.

A reaction turbine has guide vanes at an angle of 30° and the runner blades make an angle of 80° relative to the tangent at inlet. The blades width at the inlet is 4 of the outer diameter. The water does not have any tangential velocity at the outlet. The head is 25 m and the rotational speed of the runner is 16.67 rotations per second. The turbine efficiency is 88 %. Determine the turbine runner diameter at the inlet and the power developed. T
A centrifugal pump with impeller diameter 500mm is designed for a discharge of 1.0m3/s of water. The water enters the pump axially, leaving the impeller with an absolute velocity of 12m/s at an angle of 20degrees to the tangent at the impeller periphery. The impeller is rotating at 700rpm. Determine the exit vane angle and the hydraulic power delivered.
A pump is required to deliver 120000 lpm of water at a head of 25 m. A motor which spins at 450 rpm is available. What kind of pump geometry should be used? Estimate the power requirement of this pump.
A pump draws 24 li/s of water from the lower reservoir and lifts it to upper reservoir. The head lossfrom the inlet 150 mm pipe diameter is three times the velocity head and the head loss going to theoutlet 100mm pipe diameter is 25 times its velocity head. What is the power generated by the pump tothe system in horsepower. (Note: Velocities from the reservoir are different from the velocities of thepipe and pleaseee draw a diagram if you can thank you so much)

A horizontal-shaft centrifugal pump lifts water at 65°C. The suction nozzle is one meter below pump centerline. The pressure at this point equals 200 kPa gauge and velocity is 3 m/s. Stream tables show saturation pressure at 65°C is 25 kPa, and specific volume of the saturated liquid is 0.001020 m³kg. The pump Net Positive 1m Suction Head (NPSH) in meters is:
