Pumps: A centrifugal pump having 4 stages in parallel, delivers 18 kiloliters/min of liquid against a head of 25 m. The diameter of the impellers being 24 cm and the speed of 1800 rpm. A pump is to be made up with a number of stages in series of similar construction to that of the first pump to run at 1250 rpm and to deliver 15 kiloliters/min against a totalhead of 250 m. Find the diameter of the impellers and the number of stages required in this case. Answer: D = 46.63 cm, n = 6 stages
5.9 Diffuser vanes are sometimes used in centrifugal pumps to increase the static pressure at discharge. A few such vanes are shown in the following figure. If the flow rate is 0.1 m³/s and the height of blades is 2 cm, find the increase in static pressure. The inside and outside radii are 15 cm and 21 cm, respectively. 104 Turbomachinery: Concepts, Applications, and Design 14° 27°

Len is asked to design a small water pump for an aquarium. The pump should deliver 18.0 Lpm of water at a net head of 1.6 m at its best efficiency point. A motor that spins at 1200 rpm is available Suppose the pump is modified by attaching a different motor, for which the rpm is 1800 rpm.
