Q.1 A 0.8 m Diameter axial compressor is to be designed with power input of 10 KW, running at a speed
of 5000 rpm, flow rate of fluid is 50m3/s and the average density of fluid is 1.7 kg/m3. A scaled model is
developed such that it takes a power input of 1 KW, producing a flow rate of 15m3/s at an average
density of fluid i s 1.4 kg/m3 Determine the speed and diameter of the scaled model.
