I think D^5 is right answer.

Because from similarity law come the equation of power coefficient P/(N^3 D^5) that's it.

Answer D is correct, if there is a difference between the velocity triangles and if not then answer C is correct.

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

According to affinity law of pump.

Power is directly proportional to the fifth Power of diameter.

POWER is proportional to Q.H=d^2.V^2=d^2.(pi.dN)^2=which is proportional to d^4.

Cube of diameter. As per affinity laws option C is correct.

Sharan said:   8 years ago
Ans: C is correct.

i.e d^3--p=TW=(Tou*pi*d^3/16*T)*(v/r).

@Safy.

I think its d^5.

Because p/(N^3*D^5) = Constant.

Fifth power of diameter will be the correct answer.
