Figure 3 shows a water pump design that has been commonly utilized by people for daily use. To extract the most amount of water per one stroke of the pump, the piston must go upward at 50 mm/s. In the position shown, find the angular velocity of the handle about point A in order to achieve the desired piston speed.

Step 1
The angular velocity of a water pump refers to the rate at which the pump's impeller rotates. It is typically measured in radians per second (rad/s) or revolutions per minute (RPM). Show more…

A centrifugal radial water pump has the dimensions shown in Fig. P12.15. The volume rate of flow is $0.25 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s},$ and the absolute inlet velocity is directed radially outward. The angular velocity of the impeller is 960 rpm. The exit velocity as seen from a coordinate system attached to the impeller can be assumed to be tangent to the vane at its trailing edge. Calculate the power required to drive the pump.

A centrifugal radial water pump has the dimensions shown in Fig. $\mathrm{P} 12.10 .$ The volume rate of flow is $0.25 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s},$ and the absolute inlet velocity is directed radially outward. The angular veloci-y of the impeller is 960 rpm. The exit velocity as seen from a coordinate system attached to the impeller can be assumed to be tangent to the vane at its trailing edge. The hydraulic efficiency is $82 \%$ and the mechanical efficiency is $96 \% .$ Calculats the power required to drive the pump.
