A large pump delivering 12 m3 s of water with a pressure


A large pump delivering 1.2 m3 /s of water with a pressure rise of 400 kPa is needed for a particular hydroelectric power plant. A proposed design change is tested on a smaller 1:4 scale pump. Estimate the flow rate and pressure rise which would be expected in the model study. If the power needed to operate the model pump is measured to be 8000 kW, what power would be expected to operate the prototype pump.
