The rotation speed of a centrifugal water pump is 1500 rpm, its flow rate is 15 L / s, the rotor diameter is 0.2 m at the outlet, the rotor width at the outlet is 0.01 m and the mechanical efficiency is 0.92. For the fluid entering the rotor in the axial direction, the wing angle is given as 30o at the outlet. What power should be given to the shaft of this pump? (ρwater = 1000 kg / m3)
