A centrifugal pump has an impeller of outer diameter, 20 cm and outer width,4 cm.

The pump delivers a flow of 30 L/s against a head of 10.5 m at an operating speed

of 550 rpm. If the hydraulic efficiency of the pump is 85% and the overall efficiency

is 80%, determine the impeller outlet vane angle and the power required to run the

pump.
