If the impeller of Problem 10.20 rotates between horizontal planes of infinite extent and the flow rate is 25 L/s, what rise of pressure may be expected between one point having r = 150 mm and another having r = 225 mm?
A centrifugal pump impeller having dimensions and angles as shown rotates at 500 rpm. Assuming a radial direction of velocity at the blade entrance, calculate the flow rate, the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of blades, and the torque and power required to meet these conditions.

- The impeller of a centrifugal pump is 0.5 m in diameter and rotates at 1200 r .p. m . ; blades are curved back to an angle of 30⁰ to the tangent at outlet tip . If the measured velocity of flow at outlet is 5 m/ sec. If the pump is provided with whirlpool chamber which reduces the velocity of water by 50%. Kinetic energy converted into in whirlpool chamber in j/kg/sec And tangential velocity of runner at outletarrow_forwardA centrifugal pump impeller has an external diameter of 1.2 m and internal diameter of 0.8 m. The width of the impeller at outlet is 0.175 m and the blade angle at outlet is 65 degrees. The flow velocities at inlet and outlet are the same (Va1 = Va2). This pump delivers 1.55 m3/s of water at 210 rpm. For theoretical performance, calculate: 1-The flow velocity . 2-blade speed at outlet. 3-blade angle at inlet (in degrees). 4-the developed head. 5-The pressure rise across the impeller. 6-The number of blades . 7-The NPSH . %3Darrow_forwardA centrifugal pump with a 3-inches diameter impeller rotating at 1150 rpm delivered 400 gpm of water 80ºF at 250 ft total head.
