Chapter 10, Problem 13P
A centrifugal pump runs at 1750 rpm while pumping water at a rate of 50 L/s. The water enters axially, and leaves tangential to the impeller blades. The impeller exit diameter and width are 300 mm and 10 mm, respectively. If the pump requires 45 kW and is 75 percent efficient, estimate the exit angle of the impeller blades.
