  What style of radial impeller? Blade lean, curved/flat? There are several forms of software and books that cover this area along with CFM.

  Ok, now for some typing 😀:
  
  AFFINITY LAWS FOR CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
  The following laws have been established ;
  FLOWRATE [Q] ¥ SPEED [N].
  HEAD [H] ¥ SPEED SQUARED [N^2]
  POWER [P] ¥ SPEED CUBED [N^3]
  
  It follows from the affinity laws that the head and quantity can be altered by altering the speed or by altering the impeller diameter. Hence Q1 X N2 = N1 X Q2 or
  Q1 X D2 = D1 X Q2 or N1 X D2 = D1 X N2
  also , H1 X [N2]^2 = H2 X [N1]^2
  and H1 x [D2]^2 = H2 X [ D1]^2
  OR H1 X [ Q2]^2 = H2 X [Q1]^2
  However care must be taken in the practical use of the laws where the impeller eye diameter cannot be overlooked.
  If an impeller is cut or its speed changed the efficiency alters.
  
  Efficiency change with speed
  1 - E / 1 - e = [n / N ]^ 0.2
  Where n and e = new speed and new efficiency and N and E are the original speed and efficiency values. For approximation purposes the efficiency change could be determined in this manner. Reduce the efficiency of the test curve known point by half of the percentage reduction in diameter. Thus 12 % reduction in diameter causes approximately 6 % reduction in efficiency value .
  
  THE ENERGY EQUATION FOR A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
  The flow through the impeller [rotor] can be expressed as follows
  p2/r + 0.5 [v2]2 = p1/r + 0.5 [v1]2 + Wi - Li
  where Wi = work input per unit mass flow
  Li = mechanical energy loss per unit mass flow due to friction and eddying.
  u1 and u2 are the tangential velocities
  v1 and v2 are the absolute inlet and exit impeller velocities each of which can be split into two velocity components [whirl[w] and flow [f]].
  [vr] = relative velocity of the fluid.
  [Wi] = [w2u2-w1u1] = work input per unit mass flow
  hence [p2-p1] /r = [w2u2 - 0.5[v2]2] - [[w1u1 - 0.5[v1]2] – [Li]
  this equation can be expressed in terms of [f2]
  thus,v2 .v2 = w2.w2 + f2.f2 = w2.w2 + vr2.vr2 - [u2- w2].[u2 -w2]
  = vr2.vr2 - u2.u2 + 2w2u2
  therefore, w2u2-[0.5[v2.]2] = 0.5[[u2]2-[vr2]2]
  hence, [p2-p1]/r = 0.5[u2.u2-u1.u1] - 0.5[vr2.vr2-vr1.vr1] – [Li]
  if there is no flow AS WHEN the delivery valve is closed then
  [p2-p1]/r = 0.5W 2[ [r2]2-[r1]2 ]
  where W = angular velocity = [ur]
  THIS is the usual expression for a forced vortex.
  
  The flow through the diffuser or volute casing chamber is expressed as follows
  [p3/r ] +0.5[v3]2 = [p2/r ] +0.5[v2]2 – [Ld]
  where suffix 3 refers to the outlet from the diffuser or volute and [Li] is the mechanical energy loss from the diffuser per unit mass flow.
  The total mechanical energy equation may then be expressed as
  [p3/r ] + 0.5[v3.v3] = [p1/r ] + 0.5 [v1.v1] + [Wi]- [Li+Ld]
  THE ACTUAL GAIN OF HEAD = H
  = [ [p3/r g] + 0.5[v3.v3/g]] - [ [p1/r g] + 0.5 [v1.v1/2g]
  = [ Hi] – [H]
  where [Hi] = theoretical gain of total head = [w2u2-w1u1]/g
  if there is no pre-rotation then Hi = w2u2/g as w1 = 0
  and hi = total internal loss of head due to friction and eddying
  and = [Li + Ld]/g
  The hydraulic efficiency = H / Hi or gw / Wi
  the mechanical efficiency = Wi / work input to pump
