Do you have an equation to calculate flow rate through a centrifugal water pump which includes impeller blade height or thickness?

You've made an understandable assumption, but the real reason for the calculations is slightly more complicated and best explained by...

If you review post #2, you'll see the below photo showing the current water pump attached to the Tesla turbine which is itself connected...

Due to the small diameter of the impeller, tip speed is only 255 meters per second, which is well under the 343 m/s speed of sound in...

Yep,... seems I'm at the point where I need to run a test to determine actual results. My current plan is to plumb the pump the same...

I've been attempting to calculate how much power my small centrifugal water pump will use when driven by my Tesla Impulse turbine, but I...

Ooops,...I just had an epiphany !! Back in May of this year I was brainstorming ideas of how to test power output of both my boiler and...

Very nice setup.

Lets make a little steam !! It's been 4 months since I last fired-up the burner and had the boiler making steam, and this is the first...

My DIY 9 Piston Feed Pump is finally finished and I've begun using it to produce pressure in the boiler (without firing up the burner)...
