Impeller power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Impeller Power of Centrifugal Pump = (Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump*Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet*Velocity of Whirl at Outlet*Tangential Velocity of Impeller at Outlet)/(1000*[g])
IP = (w*Q*V_w2*u₂)/(1000*[g])
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Impeller Power of Centrifugal Pump - (Measured in Kilowatt) - The Impeller Power of Centrifugal Pump is the power developed at the impeller in the centrifugal pump.
Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific weight of fluid in pump is the weight of fluid per unit volume.
Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual discharge at centrifugal pump outlet is the actual amount of the liquid outflow from the outlet of the centrifugal pump.
Velocity of Whirl at Outlet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Whirl at Outlet is the tangential component of absolute velocity at the blade outlet.
Tangential Velocity of Impeller at Outlet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Tangential Velocity of Impeller at Outlet is the velocity of the impeller at the fluid outlet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet: 0.056 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.056 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Whirl at Outlet: 16 Meter per Second --> 16 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Tangential Velocity of Impeller at Outlet: 19 Meter per Second --> 19 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

IP = (w*Q*V_w2*u₂)/(1000*[g]) --> (9810*0.056*16*19)/(1000*[g])

Evaluating ... ...

IP = 17.0298154823513

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17029.8154823513 Watt -->17.0298154823513 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

17.0298154823513 ≈ 17.02982 Kilowatt <-- Impeller Power of Centrifugal Pump
