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.

Discharge = Q * D * N.

Option A is the correct answer.

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.

No, the Discharge of a centrifugal pump is Directly proportional to Impeller diameter.

You can refer to below-given affinity laws.

Q1/Q2 = D1/D2.
H1/H2 = (D1/D2)^2,
P1/P2 = (D1/D2)^3.

Q Indicates Flow that is discharged,
H Indicates Head,
P Indicates Power.

Here the discharge is asked,

I believe discharge refers to the outlet of the centrifugal compressor so

Q= π* D*B*Vf2 is the formula, that means A-option is the correct one to be chosen.

Q= 3.14 d b v = d^3 n so the correct answer will be d^3.

Q=πDb(V_f).

Where D=Diameter of impeller at inlet,
b=width of impeller at inlet,and
V_f=Velocity of flow at inlet.

Q=πDb(V_f).
Q=πDb(πDN/60).

Hence
Q is directly proportional to square of the diameter.

dicharge Q = pav, a= πd^2/4 so q is directly praporional to squre of diameter.
