Develop a general-purpose computer application (using EES or other software) that employs the affinity laws to design
Question:
Develop a general-purpose computer application (using EES or other software) that employs the affinity laws to design a new pump (B) that is dynamically similar to a given pump (A). The inputs for pump A are diameter, net head, capacity, density, rotational speed, and pump efficiency. The inputs for pump B are density (ρB may differ from ρA), desired net head, and desired capacity. The outputs for pump B are diameter, rotational speed, and required shaft power. Test your program using the following inputs: DA = 5.0 cm, HA = 120 cm, V̇A = 400 cm3/s, ρA = 998.0 kg/m3, ṅA = 1725 rpm, ηpump, A = 81 percent, ρB = 1226 kg/m3, HB = 450 cm, and V̇B = 2400 cm3/s. Verify your results manually.
