Q1. A centrifugal pump impeller has 0.4m inlet diameter and 0.7 m external
diameter. The pump run at 980 rpm, and the entry of the pump is radial.
The velocity of flow through the impeller is constant at 3.9 m/s. The
impeller vanes are set back at angle of 46° to the outer rim as shown in
figure 1. Calculate:
a. The vane angle at inlet of pump.
b. The velocity direction of water at outlet.
c. The work done by the water per kg of water.
