PROBLEM 1
A centrifugal pump impeller runs at 1400 rpm, and vanes angle at exit is 25 O. The impeller has an external
diameter of 0.4 m and an internal diameter of 0.2 m. Assuming a constant radial flow through the impeller at 2.6 m/s,
calculate (a) the angle made by the absolute velocity of water at exit with the tangent, (b) the inlet vane angle, and (c)
the work done per kg of water.

PROBLEM 2
An axial flow pump discharges water at the rate of 1.3 m3/s and runs at 550 rpm. The total head is 10 m.
Assume blade velocity = 22 m/s, flow velocity = 4.5 m/s, hydraulic efficiency = 0.87, and the overall pump efficiency =
0.83, find (a) the power delivered to the water, and power input, (b) the impeller hub diameter and tip diameter, and (c)
the inlet and outlet blade angles for the rotor.
