A 1:5 scale model of a large pump is used to test a proposed change. The prototype pump produces a pressure rise of 600 kPa at a mass flux of 800 kg/s. Determine the mass flux to be used in the model and the expected pressure rise. (a) Water at the same temperature is used in both model and prototype. (b) The water in the model study is at 30°C and the water in the prototype is at 15°C.
