The flow rate generated by the machine is 54.7 Kilo-litres/min. The impeller blade inlet angle and width is 23° and 180 mm respectively. The blades occupy 12% of the impeller area and the water is assumed to enter the impeller radially. Suction and delivery pipes are equal in size. Determine: 1.1. The impeller inlet (i) diameter and inlet blade velocity. (Hint - Substitution: Vi in terms of Di and Ui in terms of D; both sub into Tan of Blade inlet angle, only unknown is then solving for D?) ANS: 300 mm; 14.42 m/s If the pump has a mechanical efficiency of 80%, calculate the blade velocity at 1.2. outlet (Uo) and outlet whirl velocity Vwo. Assume the blade exit angle equal to the guide vane angle. (Hint - Substitution: Write Vwo in terms of Uo sub in Euler equation only unknown then is solve for Vwo) ANS: Vwo = 11.54 m/s; 23.1 m/s Impeller outer diameter. 1.3. ANS: 480 mm 1.4. If the flow through velocity is consistent through the pump find the fluid velocity at outlet. ANS: Vao = 13.06 m/s What is the manometric head if the suction gauge shows -30kPa and the delivery gauge shows 210 kPa? 1.5. ANS: 24.43 m
