A single stage centrifugal pump has an impeller of 250 mm diameter which rotates at 1,800 rpm and lifts 60 lit/sec to 25 m with an efficiency of 70%. Obtain the number of stages and diameter of each impeller of a similar multi-stage pump to lift 75 lit/sec to 175 m at 1,500 rpm. (8 stages ; 280 mm dia)

A single stage centrifugal pump has an impeller of 250 mm diameter
which rotates at 1,800 rpm and lifts 60 lit/sec to 25 m with an efficiency
of 70%. Obtain the number of stages and diameter of each impeller of a
similar multi-stage pump to lift 75 lit/sec to 175 m at 1,500 rpm.
(8 stages ; 280 mm dia)
The impeller of a centrifugal pump has an outer diameter of 35 cm and
runs at 1,000 rpm. The blades are bent at 150° to the direction of motion
at discharge and the radial velocity of flow is constant through the
impeller at 2'5 m/sec. The measured head across the pump is 20 m and
the frictional resistance of the pump is estimated to be 2 m. Find the
efficiency according to velocity triangles.
