Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 41P
A 1/3 scale model of a centrifugal water pump running at Nm = 5100 rpm produces a flow rate of Qm = 1 m3/s with a head of Hm = 5.4m. Assuming the model and prototype efficiencies are comparable, estimate the flow rate, head, and power requirement if the design speed is 125 rpm.

It is proposed to design a homologous model for a centrifugal pump.the prototype pump is to run at 600rpm and develop 30m head the flow rate being 1 m^3/s. The model of 1/4 scale is to run at 1450 rpm. Determine the head developed discharge and power required for the model. Overall efficiency is 80%.
A model of hydraulic turbine, to scale of 1/5 is tested under a head of 7.5m. The prototype works under a head of 180 m and is to run at 500 rpm. At what speed should the model be operated?
A gear pump has a 80-mm outside diameter, a 55-mm inside diameter, and a 25-mm width. If the actual pump flow rate at 2300 rpm and rated pressure is 140 LPM, calculate the Theoretical Flow Rate, QT (m3/s). (Hint: first calculate the Displacement Volume)
