Question: DATA: Consider w a t e r = 9 . 8 1 k N m 3 and g = 9 . 8 1 m s

DATA: Consider water=9.81kNm3 and g=9.81ms2
A centrifugal water pump is designed for a rated capacity of 11Ls at a total head of 50 meters. The figure below (not drawn to scale) shows the main dimensions of the impeller. Assuming that the fluid enters the impeller with no whirl when operating at the design point, determine the following:
a) sketch the velocity triangle at impeller inlet
b) the pump rated speed, N,
(10 Marks)
c) the vane angle at inlet, 1, and
d) the actual flow velocity at impeller exit, U2'.
1000L=1m3
11(L)(s)1m31000(L)=0.011m3(s)
[NOTE: If needed consider vane=0.90,hyd=0.80,vol=0.96]
y1=u1tan(1)
DATA: Consider w a t e r = 9 . 8 1 k N m 3 and g
