Water is pumped at the rate of 5 m³/min through a centrifugal pump operating at a speed of 1500 rev/min. The impeller has inlet and outlet diameters: D₁ = 50 mm and D₂ 180 mm, and the exit blade angle is 25°. The blade height is b = 45 mm. Assume ideal flow conditions and that the tangential velocity component, Ce₁, of the water entering the blade is zero. = Determine: (a) The tangential velocity component, Ce2. (4 points) (b) The ideal head rise, H. (2 points) (c) The power transferred to the fluid. (3 points) Take: g=9.81 m/s² Water density = 1000 kg/m³ Water is pumped at the rate of 5 m³/min through a centrifugal pump operating at a speed of 1500 rev/min.
