What is your inlet boundary condition?
Make sure that the pressure at the outlet face is smaller than upstream pressure.

You can set mass outflow as the outlet boundary condition if you don't have backflow at the outlet.

Air is sparged through inlet boundary, which is below the impeller. Please suggest me how to set mass outflow at the top.
