A centrifugal pump with radial inlet (alpha4 = 90°) operates with water at a flow of 0.3 m3 /s. The rotor diameter is 250 mm and the blades it is 30 mm wide at the outlet. Assume that the blades are radial at the exit. Determine the theoretical height considering infinite number of blades and power required when the pump runs at 800 rpm.
