As per affinity law, break horse power is directly proportional to cube of diameter or cube of rpm.

Answer D is correct.
Evans siripi said:   4 years ago
I think the answer is D.
Raj said:   4 years ago
Given answer D^4 is right.
Deepak Rathva said:   5 years ago
The Correct answer is D^5.

Ref: R.K.Bansal.
Sullahe sanu said:   5 years ago
d^4 is the answer.
Sandeep said:   5 years ago
d^4 will be the correct answer. Since the question is asked as directly proportional the tangent flow of an impulse turbine always takes 4th power to diameter.

Affinity laws applied to axial and radial flows pumps and turbines. Its a tangent flow ; impulse turbine so I think 4th power is correct.

Ans: C is correct.

i.e d^3--p=TW=(Tou*pi*d^3/16*T)*(v/r).
Manish said:   6 years ago
Note that there are two sets of affinity laws:.

Affinity laws for a specific centrifugal pump - to approximate head, capacity and power curves for different motor speeds and /or different diameter of impellers.

Affinity laws for a family of geometrically similar centrifugal pumps - to approximate head, capacity and power curves for different motor speeds and /or different diameter of impellers.
