1. For a given pump, the diameter, the gauge pressures at the inlet and outlet are −30 × 103 P a and 200 × 103 P a, respectively. If the flow rate is 0.1 m3/s, and the power required is 25 kW, find the efficiency. The intake and discharge are at the same height. 2. The impeller of a radial-flow turbine has an outer radius of 4 f t, turning at 200 rpm. The volume flow rate is 1000 ft3/s, and it discharges in the axial direction. Neglect all losses. If the tangential component of the velocity at the inlet is 5 f t/s, find: (a) The torque exerted on the impeller. (b) The power developed by the machine.
