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

Yes this answer is right but its against affinity laws, also discharge varies to square of this which is also against affinity law.

Power is proportional to cube of diameter.

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

@Safy.
I think its d^5.
Because p/(N^3*D^5) = Constant.
I think its d^5.
Because p/(N^3*D^5) = Constant.

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

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.

Power = density * acceleration due to gravity * discharge * head loss.
Where Q = A * V = area * velocity.
Area= (pi/4) *d^2.
Velocity= (pi * d * N/60).
Head loss= (friction * length * velocity^2)/(2 * g * d).
= (f * length * (pi * d * N/60) ^2)/(2 * g * d).
Assume f, length and N are constant.
Head loss proportional to diameter.
Power = constant * d^4.
Where Q = A * V = area * velocity.
Area= (pi/4) *d^2.
Velocity= (pi * d * N/60).
Head loss= (friction * length * velocity^2)/(2 * g * d).
= (f * length * (pi * d * N/60) ^2)/(2 * g * d).
Assume f, length and N are constant.
Head loss proportional to diameter.
Power = constant * d^4.

There are so much of answers if we look into this from different laws and formulas. What answer should we choose in the exams?
Is someone there to give the most appropriate answer?
