Given:
$D_{1}=200 mm=0.2m$
=400mm=0.4m
N=1200rpm
Vane angle at inlet $\phi=2o^{\circ}$
Vane angle at outlet =$\phi=30^{\circ}$
Radical on try i.e $\alpha=90^{\circ}$
$Vw_{1}$=0
$vf1$=v1
$u1=\frac{\pi D_{1}N}{60}$
$\frac{\pi \times 0.2\times 1200}{60}$
=12.57 m/s
u2=$\frac{\pi D_{2}N}{60}$
=$\frac{\pi\times 0.4\times 200}{60}$
=25.13 m/s
$\frac{Vf1}{u1}=tan\Theta$
$\frac{vf_{1}}{12.5 x}=tan20$
vf1=4.575 m/s=vf2
Consider outlet velocity $\triangle$EFG
$Vw2=EF-HF=u2-\frac{Vf2}{tan\phi}=25.13-\frac{4.575}{tan 30}$=17.21 m/s
Workdone by impeller/unit weight of water w
w=$\frac{Vw_{2}\times u2}{g}$
=$\frac{17.21\times 25.13}{9.81}$
=44.09 Nm/Ng water
