. This is perhaps the most vital section for practicing engineers. He explains how small-scale models can predict the behavior of massive industrial turbines. By using dimensionless parameters, Peng shows how engineers can select the "best fit" machine for a specific job—ensuring that a pump designed for a high-pressure well isn't mistakenly applied to a high-flow irrigation project.
