An engineer is conducted the centrifugal pump at aircraft hangar. The pump has an eye diameter and an impeller diameter of 200 mm and 500 mm respectively while running at 900 rpm. While it rotate, the blade angle is measured at 35o at outlet with considering the tangent. The flow velocity is limited at 3 m/s constantly. Evaluate the
(a) inlet blade angle
(b) outlet absolute velocity with its angle at outlet and
(c) the manometric head.
