A centrifugal pump discharges 300 GPM through an 8-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 1.5-inches. (Assume a constant thickness of the impeller) and if the pump speed is 1750 rpm, with a head loss of 3.5-feet. What is the Torque on the shaft?

A pump needs to move water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir at a rate of 600 cfs through a 9,000 ft long, 6-ft diameter pipeline (f = 0.03). For a 1,500 ft change in water surface elevation between the lower and upper reservoirs, compute the needed power input to the pump assuming a pump efficiency of 75% and that minor losses are negligible. In addition, compute the needed power input to the corresponding motor assuming the motor...
