Question
A single-stage axial flow pump with outer radius r2 =0.240 m and inner radius r1=0.120 m is given. At a radius of r =0.090 m, absolute flow flows in
from the axial direction just before the impeller inlet and relative flow flows out in the axial direction just after the impeller outlet. Assuming a flow
rate Q = 0.265 m^3/s, a water density p = 1.000 x 103 kg/m^3, a rotation speed n=2.4 x 10^3 rpm, and a gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s^2,
and assuming that the theoretical head Hth = W/g (W: specific work) derived from Euler's law is constant at all impeller radii, answer the following
questions.
(1) Assuming that the flow is uniform, find the axial velocity.
(2) Find the velocity triangles just before the impeller inlet and just after the impeller outlet at a radius of r =0.09 m.
