Question: Problem 1 . A centrifugal water pump is designed to operate at a speed of N = 1 2 0 0 r p m at

Problem 1. A centrifugal water pump is designed to operate at a speed of N=1200rpm at a volume flow rate of Q=35Ls. The impeller has the following dimensions:
\table[[Parameter,Inlet,Outlet],[Radius,r(cm),10,17.5],[Blade width, b(cm),1.0,0.75],[Blade angle, (deg),30,40]]
(a) Draw the inlet and outlet velocity diagrams to scale. (b) Determine the inlet and outlet absolute flow angles (measured relative to the normal direction).(c) Calculate the head developed by the pump for swirl free entry and for the specified geometry. (d) For a pump efficiency of p=75%, calculate the mechanical power delivered to the pump.
