Hence u α √H α DN
P = η0(ρgQH) hence P α QH
u α DN and Vf α u α √H therefore D α (√H)/N
Q = Area x velocity = π*B * D * Vf
Since B α D ; therefore Q α D2 √H or Q α (H/N2)*(√H)
Q α H3/2/N2 therefore P α (H3/2/N2) * H
Therefore P α (H5/2/N2) or P = constant * (H5/2/N2)
According to definition N=Ns if P= 1 kW & H = 1.0 m ;
constant = Ns2 or Ns = N√P/(H5/4)
In model testing [N√P/(H5/4)]m = [N√P/(H5/4)]p
SPECIFIC SPEED OF PUMP
A model of Kaplan turbine 1/12 of the actual turbine is tested under a head
of 3.0 m. The head of the proto-turbine is 7.5 m . The proto-turbine ifs
designed to produce 6000 kW at a speed of 150 rpm at an efficiency of 83
%. Find the speed , power and specific speed of the model.
Speed Ratio : [√H/(DN)] m = [√H/(DN)] p
