I think there is another important parameter/data: blade height. Fast and big impeller will not generate any flow/pressure while it is plain. By this way, closed impeller could generates good flow as big as distance between its plates. That is how tall are blades will act on pressure/flow ratio. Similarly, fans with same speed (rpm) and diameter can generate different air flow by increasing blade tichness (25mm x 38mm fans).
I wish i had made this clear. And i am just curious too.
