Water Turbine Prototype - GATE ME '97

A water turbine delivering 10MW power is to be tested with the help of a geometrically similar 1:8 model, which runs at the same speed as the proto-type.

(a) Find the power developed by the model assuming the efficiencies of the model and the proto-type are equal.

(b) Find the ratio of the heads and the ratio of mass flow rates between the proto-type and the model.


Ans:


relation between power and diameter of scaled model and prototype

relation between head and diameter of scaled model and prototype

relation between mass flow rate and diameter of scaled model and prototype
