The flow enters parallel to the axis of rotation and leaves at an angle of 35° with an absolute exit velocity of 75 ft/s. Determine the water flow rate, the torque, the horsepower required, and the pressure rise.

A centrifugal pump with radial inlet (alpha4 = 90°) operates with
water at a flow of 0.3 m3
/s. The rotor diameter is 250 mm and the blades
it is 30 mm wide at the outlet. Assume that the blades are radial at the exit.
Determine the theoretical height considering infinite number of blades and power
required when the pump runs at 800 rpm.
The fluid flow rate was 1 m3 / s and the head was 10 m in the experiment performed at 2000 rev/min by water with the 1/4 ratio model of a centrifugal pump designed to be used for oil. Calculate the power given by the pump to the fluid when the prototype pump operates at 1000 rev/min (ρ water = 1000 kg / m3, ρ oil = 800 kg / m3)
