Question
Volumetric flow rate, Q, of a pump is a function of impeller diameter d, fluid velocity V,
pressure difference P, fluid density and viscosity .
a) (15P) Determine dimensionless groups.
b) (20P) A test is to be performed for a large pump that delivers 1.5 m3
/s of water from 40 cm
diameter impeller with pressure rise of 400 kPa. For the test, a model with an 8 cm diameter impeller
is to be used. What flow rate should be used and what would be the pressure rise in model pump
