Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 42P
Sometimes the variation of water viscosity with temperature can be used to achieve dynamic similarity. A model pump delivers 0.10 m3/s of water at 15°C against a head of 27 m, when operating at 3600 rpm. Determine the water temperature that must be used to obtain dynamically similar operation at 1800 rpm. Estimate the volume flow rate and head produced by the pump at the lower-speed test condition. Comment on the NPSH requirements for the two tests.

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 quarter scale turbine model is tested under a head of 36 m. The full
scale turbine is required to work under o head of 100 m and to run at 428
rpm. At what speed must the model be run and if it develops 135 HP and
uses 0'324 m3/ sec of water at this speed, what power will be obtained
from the full scale turbine assuming that its efficiency is 3 per cent better
than that of the model?
A prototype pump is designed to so that the attached dimensionless performance curves apply. (a) If the
pump is powered by a fixed speed motor delivering a rotational speed of 400 rpm and the impeller diameter
is 2 m find the unknown quantities (Q, H, P,n ). Assume the pump is operating a peak efficiency and is
pumping cold water. (b) If the pump is to be connected to standard steel pipe, which pipe should be used.
