A prototype water pump has an impeller diameter of 2 ft and is designed to pump 12

Question:

A prototype water pump has an impeller diameter of 2 ft and is designed to pump 12 ft3/s at 750 r/min. A 1-ft-diameter model pump is tested in 20°C air at 1800 r/min, and Reynolds-number effects are found to be negligible. For similar conditions, what will the volume flow of the model be in ft3/s? If the model pump requires 0.082 hp to drive it, what horsepower is required for the prototype?
