An impeller is something which is used to create a vacuum inside it due to which we lift the fluid From low pressure to high pressure.

Because HEAD is direct proportional speed N.

Head = (impeller blade velocity at outlet/g) [impeller blade velocity at outlet-Q/ (peripheral area of impeller * tanB) ].

Since peripheral area includes a diameter of the impeller so the answer is both A and B therefor option is correct.

The impeller creates a vacuum at the suction side and it increases the velocity of the fluid.

When the speed and impeller's dia is high then high vacumn create inside the impeller and a good head is develop.

What is meant by head?

Sajawal khan said:   1 decade ago
Energy divide by its weight is called head. Unit of head is m.

Discharge press is directly proportional to pump head.

This discharge press depends on impeller dia and rpm(velocity).

As the diameter increases, the centrifugal force tends to increase which results in increase in head of a fluid.
