pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
Variables Used
Tip Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Tip Velocity is blade speed at the tip.
Mean Diameter of Impeller - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Diameter of Impeller divides the total annular area into two equal parts.
Impeller Hub Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Impeller Hub Diameter is the distance of the hub (where the blade roots are mounted) from the center of the shaft.
RPM - RPM is the number of turns of the object divided by time, specified as revolutions per minute (rpm).
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mean Diameter of Impeller: 0.29 Meter --> 0.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Impeller Hub Diameter: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
