A submersible, multi-stage, centrifugal deep well pump 260 gmp capacity is installed in a well 32feet below the static water level and running at 3000 rpm. Drawdown when pumping at ratedcapacity is 10 feet. The pump delivers the water into a 25,000 gallons capacity overhead storagetank. Total discharge head developed by pump, including friction in piping is 243 feet. Calculatethe diameter of the impeller of this pump in inches if each impeller diameter developed a headof 36ft.
