Centrifugal pump impeller runs at 950 rpm. Its external and internal diameters are 500 mm and 250 mm. The vanes are set back at an angle of 35° to the outer rim. If the radial velocity of water through the impeller be maintained constant as 2 m/sec, find the angle of the vanes at inlet, the velocity and direction of water at outlet and the work done by the impeller per kg of water
