Assume flow is axial at BOTH Section 1 and at Section 4. Assume blade angles equal corresponding flow angles. Perform your calculations at the mean radius as defined in Peng (Pg. 45). SECTION # 1 At Section #1, determine: Absolute Velocity,
V_(1)
, and Relative Velocity,
W_(1)
. Draw the Vector diagram of velocity vectors at Section #1, to scale. Determine the blade angle,
\beta _(b1)
on Impeller I.
