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.

Answer C is correct.

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

Muhammad Waqas said:   8 years ago
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.

It should be diameter cube.

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

DHIRENDRA KUMAR said:   8 years ago
C is the right answer.

Affinity Law of a pump- Q is proportional to D.

Suresh Shinde said:   8 years ago
Q/(N*D^3).

So, the correct answer is directly proportional to D^3.

Shiva said:   8 years ago
As Q is directly proportional to B and D and B (width) is proportional to D. Therefore Q is directly proportional to D^2.

Venkat said:   8 years ago
The Answer is B.

Discharge of centrifugal pump is directly proportional to its (dia)^2.
Q = A * V,
Here A = π * D^2/4.
