Question: A centrifugal pump impeller has external diameter and width at outlet of 8 0 0 mm and 1 0 0 mm respectively while it runs

A centrifugal pump impeller has external diameter and width at outlet of 800 mm and 100 mm respectively while it runs at 550 rpm. The angle of the impeller vanes at the outlet is 40\deg . The pump delivers 0.98 m^2 of water per second under an effective head of 35 m. If the pump is driven by a 500 kW motor determine: (i) manometric efficiency, (ii) overall efficiency and (illi) mechanical efficiency.
