Question:

A centrifugal water pump has an impeller with an outer diameter of \(14 \mathrm{in}\). and a blade height of \(1 \mathrm{in}\). It rotates at 1200 \(\mathrm{rpm}\). The flow enters parallel to the axis of rotation and leaves at an angle of \(35^{\circ}\) with an absolute exit velocity of \(75 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\). Determine the water flow rate, the torque, the horsepower required, and the pressure rise.
