- Fluid mechanics theory The power input P to a centrifugal pump is a function of the volume flow Q, impeller diameter D, rotational rate ω, and the density ρ and viscosity μ of the fluid. Determine the three dimensionless numbers. Use M, L, T as your primary dimensions and ω, ρ and D as repeatingvariables.arrow_forwardImportant variables in a particular water machine are: Fluid density (ρ), impeller angular velocity (ω), impeller diameter (D), volume flow rate (), fluid viscosity (µ), head (gH). In fact, (gH) shows the energy that the fluid unit mass receives from or gives to the machine, independent of gravitational acceleration (g). Therefore, gH value is used instead of H. Important sizes in terms of the operation of the water machine are power (P), (gH) and efficiency ( h). Derive dimensionless numbers by typing these two parameters based on the above variables and applying Buckingham's p method (repeating variables method).arrow_forwardState what is Bernoulli's Priciple for Pressure and Velocity?
