Question

The rotor shown below rotates with an angular velocity of 2000 rpm. Assume that the fluid enters in the radial direction and the relative velocity is tangent to the blades across the entire rotor. Find the exit normal velocity (ft/s) and exit velocity of the blade in terms of inlet. Draw the inlet and outlet velocity triangles. Is the device a pump or a turbine? Explain. Hint: create a velocity triangle at (1) and (2) and compare them. Does the rotor turns the flow in the direction of the blade motion (a PUMP), if the appositive (a TURB). In a PUMP, the shaft torque drives the impeller and the impeller moves fluid. On the contrary, in a TURB, the moving fluid drives the impeller V, 20 ft/s 0.5 ft -0.9 ft
