Discharge of a centrifugal pump is
directly proportional to diameter of its impeller
inversely proportional to diameter of its impeller
directly proportional to (diameter)2 of its impeller
inversely proportional to (diameter)2 of its impeller
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Discharge of a centrifugal pump is directly proportional to (Diameter)^2 of its impeller.

Head of a centrifugal pump is directly proportional to (Diameter)^2 of its impeller.

Power Developed of a centrifugal pump is directly proportional to (Diameter)^4 of its impeller.

It's directly proportional to (diameter)2 of its impeller.

I think, here It should be Discharge Head.

And accordingly, option C would be correct.

Discharge = Q * D * N.

When we calculate for specific speed we take the assumption of B being proportional to Diameter. So, option C is correct.

Q=(pi)DbV.

D=Diameter of impeller.
B =Width.
V= Velocity of flow.

Q is directly proportional to D^3.

If Q=Av then Q is directly or inversely proportional?

Biswajit Das said:   6 years ago
Option C is correct.
That Q= π D b Vf.
Anyhow Vf is related to V and V is related to u and u =π D N /60.
So, Q is directly proportional to D^2.

The discharge flow rate is directly proportional to its diameter.

But here the question is an only discharge of centrifugal pump; So the answer is "directly proportional to the square of the diameter".

So, the correct option C is correct.
