    A centrifugal pump requires 40 feet of head to deliver water from a low level to a higher level. Given the pump speed of 1600 rpm, the impeller diameter can be calculated using the head, speed, and a formula. A pump is used to deliver 100 gallons per minute of water with a suction pressure of 2 inches of mercury vacuum, discharge pressure of 130 psi. The pump work can be calculated using the flow rate, specific volume, density of water, pressure head, and a formula.

    3. A centrifugal pump requires 40 ft head to deliver water from low level to higher level.

    If pump speed is 1600 rpm, determine the impeller diameter of the centrifugal pump. Solution: Solve for velocity, v:

    )(

    Solve for diameter of the impeller, D:

    4. The suction pressure of a pump reads 2 in of mercury vacuum and discharge pressure reads 130psi is use to deliver 100 gpm of water with specific volume of 0.0163 ft3/lb. Determine the pump work. Solution:

    Solve for density of fluid, w:

    Solve for pressure head, h:

    Solve for pump work, P:
