Chapter 7, Problem 51P
A water pump with impeller diameter of 24 in. is to be designed to move 15 ft3/s when running at 750 rpm. Testing is performed on a 1:4 scale model running at 2400 rpm using air (68°F) as the fluid. For similar conditions (neglecting Reynolds number effects), what will be the model flow rate? If the model draws 0.1 hp, what will be the power requirement of the prototype?
