A homologous model of a centrifugal pump runs at 600 rpm against a head of 8 m, the power required being 5 kW. If the prototype 5 times the model size is to develop a head of 40 m determine its speed, discharge and power. The overall efficiency of the model is 0.8 while that of the prototype is 0.85.

A homologous model of a centrifugal pump runs at 600 rpm against a head of 8 m, the power
required being 5 kW. If the prototype 5 times the model size is to develop a head of 40 m
determine its speed, discharge and power. The overall efficiency of the model is 0.8 while that of
the prototype is 0.85.
