It is proposed to build a three- stage centrifugal pump to deliver 4000 kg/min of water at a speed of 900 rpm under a total manometric head of 70 m. The vanes are to be radial at inlet and are to be curved backwards at exit at an angle of 45°. Assuming manometric efficiency of 84% and overall efficiency of 75% and considering that vane thickness accounts for 8% of circumferential area. The velocity of flow may be assumed constant at 2.5 m/sec. The h.p. input necessary is ؟
A centrifugal pump discharging 10 lps against 25 m of head and operating with an efficiency of 60% requires 4.1 kW at 1000 rpm. What is the theoretical discharge if the speed is increased to 1500 rpm assuming the efficiency remains constant? What is the theoretical head and kW at 1500 rpm?

A pump is attached to a fire hydrant, where it is desired to produce a jet that rises to a maximum height of 40 m and delivers water at a rate of 100 L/s.
