Using the data of problem determine the velocity head of


Using the data of Problem, determine the velocity head of the fluid leaving the impeller. What pressure rise would result from such a velocity head?

Problem :-
Sea water, ρ = 64 lbm/ft3 , flows through the impeller of a centrifugal pump at the rate of 800 gal/min. Determine the torque exerted on the impeller by the fluid and the power required to drive the pump. Assume that the absolute velocity of the water entering the impeller is radial. The dimensions are as follows:
ω = 1180 rpm

t2 = 0.6 in.

r1 = 2 in.

Θ2 = 135°

r2 = 8 in.

t1 = 0.8 in.
