The internal and external diameter of the impeller of a centrifugal pump are 200 mm and 400 mm respectively. The pump is running at 1200 r.p.m. The vane angles of the impeller at inlet and outlet are 20° and 30° respectively. The water enters the impeller radially and velocity of flow is constant. Determine the work done by the impeller per unit weight of water.
