(OP)
I'm trying to find the governing equations (flow, pressure, etc.) for straight blade impellers (given dimensional information). Also, are there equations for the effect of viscosity on the pumping performance?





RE: design of straight blade impellers
Yes, there are viscosity correction factors but these are based on real pumps - not theoretical ones. I'm not too terribly confident that they will mean that much when compared with a theoretical pump.
Nevertheless, you can find such correction factors in many pump books and literature.
