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 2:1 scale model of a pump was tested in a laboratory at 750rpm, head 20m and discharge 10 1/s. If the speed of prototype was 1500rpm, determine the head.
(hint : use equation of flow coefficient)
a centrifuagal pump is to be built that delivers 1000 gpm agains ahead of 120 ft operates at 1780 rpm. a model pump operating at the same effiviciency as the larger pump delivers 120 gpm against ahead of 30 ft . determine the rotation rate for the smaller , homologus pump . Using ONLY AFFINITY LAWS
