Question:

A simple centrifugal pump consists of a 10 cm disk with radial ports as shown. Water is pumped from a reservoir through a central tube on the axis. The wheel spins at 3000 rev/min, and the liquid discharges to atmospheric pressure. To establish the maximum height for operation of the pump, assume that the flow rate is zero and the pressure at the pump intake is atmospheric pressure. Calculate the maximum operational height z for the pump.
