Question

A centrifugal pump has a rotor of 170mm dia and runs at 1, 450 rpm. It is 15mm
deep at the outer edge and swept back at 30 o. inlet flow is radial. The vanes take
10% of the outlook area. 65% of the outlet veloity head is lost in the volute
chamber. The pump delivers 15dm3/s of water.
Calculate:
1. The head produced
2. The efficiency
3. The power consumed
