Chapter 7, Problem 67P
An axial-flow pump is required to deliver 0.75 m3/s of water at a head of 15 J/kg. The diameter of the rotor is 0.25 m, and it is to be driven at 500 rpm. The prototype is to be modeled on a small test apparatus having a 2.25 kW, 1000 rpm power supply. For similar performance between the prototype and the model, calculate the head, volume flow rate, and diameter of the model.

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
