A centrifugal pump delivers water against the net head of 14.5 metres and at a design speed of 1000 rpm. The vanes are carried back at an angle of 30° along the periphery. The impeller diameter is 300 mm and the outlet width is 50 mm. Determine the discharge of the pump if the manometric efficiency is 95%.
