A centrifugal pump is used to pump water (1000 kg/m³) to a height of 10m, the water splashes down back into the tank. The diameter of the impeller of the pump is 145 mm, the pump speed is 2900 rpm.
The equation to calculate the flow V in the valve depending on the pressure drop differential pressure (dp) in the valve isV = 4 * sqrt (dp), whereas V is in m³/h and dp in bar.
Please estimate the water flow.

A pipe carries oil of density 800 kg/m³. At a given point (1) the pipe has a bore area of
0.005 m² and the oil flows with a mean velocity of 4 m/s with a gauge pressure of 800 kPa.
Point (2) is further along the pipe and there the bore area is 0.002 m² and the level is 50 m
above point (1). Calculate the pressure at this point (2). Neglect friction. (374 kPa)
The impeller of a centrifugal pump has an internal
diameter of 200 mm and external diameter 400 mm. The
widths of the impeller at entry and exit are 20 mm and 10
mm respectively. The discharge of water through the
impeller is 20L/s. The impeller rotates at 1440 rpm and
the blade angle at the outlet is 30 degrees. Determine the
