Question: Asingle stage, radial flow, and double suction centrifugal pump having the following data: Discharge 7 2 liters / s; Inner diameter 9 0 mm; Outer

Asingle stage, radial flow, and double suction centrifugal pump having the following data: Discharge 72 liters/s; Inner diameter 90 mm; Outer diameter 280 mm; Speed 1650 revolutions/minute; Head 25 m; Width at inlet 20 mm/side; Width at outlet 18 mm/side;Absolute velocity angle at inlet 90\deg ; Leakage losses 2 liters/s; Mechanical losses 1:50 kW; Contraction factor due to vane thickness 0:85; Relative velocity angle measured from tangential direction 35\deg ; Overall efficiency of the pump 0:56. Determine (1) inlet vane angle, (2) the angle at which the water leaves the wheel, (3) the absolute velocity of water leaving impeller, (4) manometric efficiency, and (5) the volumetric and mechanical efficiencies.
