- A centrifugal pump rotates at n. = 750 rpm. Water enters the impeller normal to the blades (?1 = 0°) and exits at an angle of 35° from radial (?2 = 35°). The inlet radius is r1 = 12.0 cm, at which the blade width b1 = 18.0 cm. The outlet radius is r2 = 24.0 cm, at which the blade width b2 = 16.2 cm. The volume flow rate is 0.573 m3 /s.

The blade speed ratio is 0.41and the friction loss in the blade channel is 15%of the kinetic energy corresponding to the relative velocity at the inlet to the blades. As a turbine engineer at that station, how do you determine the (i) power developed by the turbine for a flow rate of 10 kg/s and (ii) suitable inlet and outlet angles for the blades when axial thrust is zero.

Assuming that the turbine operates at a blade speed to jet speed ratio of 0.47, determine:(1) the wheel rotational speed;(2) the power output and the power specific speed;(3) the bucket friction coefficient given that the relative flow is deflected 165°;(4) the required number of nozzles if the ratio of the jet diameter to mean diameter of the wheel is limited to a maximum value of 0.113.arrow_forward
