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.

Option C is correct.

It is directly proportional to the square of the diameter.

Bapi said:   9 years ago
Q/{N(D^3)}=constant.
So the correct answer is Q is directly proportional to cube of the diameter(D) of the impeller.

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.

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

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.

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

Debashis said:   8 years ago
Yes, option: C is correct.

Pal said:   8 years ago
Q= π*D*v*b and v=πdN/60.

So the right answer is proportional to d^2.

Pabitra said:   9 years ago
It should be diameter cube.
