Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

The pressure rise Δp across a pump can be expressed as Δp = f(D, p, w, Q) where D is the impeller diameter, p is the fluid density, w is the rotational speed, and Q is the flowrate. determine a suitable set of dimensionless parameters

answer : Δp / D^2pw^2 = Ф (Q / D^3w )

Step-by-step explanation:

k ( number of variables ) = 5

r ( number of reference dimensions ) = 3

applying the pi theorem

hence the number of pi terms = k - r = 5 - 3 = 2

the pressure rise, across a pump can be expressed as where D is the impeller diameter-example-1
the pressure rise, across a pump can be expressed as where D is the impeller diameter-example-2
