Thermal Question
4.: Using data for the 2 3-10 pump (Fig. 4-16) at 3,560 rpms: (a) Estimate the performance characteristics (H, Q, efficiency, power) of the 10-in. rotor at 1,750 rpm using the manufacturer's information for the 10-in. rotor at 3,560 rpm. Plot the estimate on top of the data as given by the manufacturer. (b) Estimate the performance characteristics of the 6-in. rotor at 3,560 rpm from the 10-in. rotor at 3,560 rpm. Plot the estimate on top of the actual data for the 6-in. rotor at 3,560 rpm. (c) Estimate the performance characteristics of the 6-in. rotor at 1,750 rpm from the 10-in. rotor at 3,560 rpm. Plot the estimate on top of the actual data for the 6-in. rotor at 1,750 rpm. (d) Discuss the implications and limitations of the similarity method of estimating pump per- formance data.
