Detailed Solution
Concept:
The relationship between power and diameter of a centrifugal pump is governed by the following
equation:-
Pour = nega
Here, Q=AxV
Q«D?VH
P«D?VHxH
P «D2 (H)972
Pp =constant
s " constant ~
Where P is power, D is diameter,
Calculation:
Given:
P, = 12 hp, Dy = 127 mm, D2 = 254mm
In the given question it is said that the only diameter is changed and other parameters are constant
then
Bay
= (a
=> Py = (234)? x 12 = 22 x 12 hp = 48 hp
Py
