Please answer question 7: A centrifugal pump discharges 500 GPM through a 12-inch diameter impeller. The fluid leaves the impeller with a tangential velocity of 17 ft/sec. If water, @ 68°F, enters the impeller via radial flow (I.E. no whirl), and the inner radius and thickness of the impeller are 1.75-inches. (Assume a constant thickness of the impeller) and if the pump speed is 1775 rpm, with a head loss of 4.5-feet. What is the horsepower input to the flow by the pump? QUESTION...
