	Pump Affinity laws
		As you cut down the impeller diameter, the housing is not coming down in size so the affinity laws do not remain accurate below this 10% maximum number.
		The affinity laws remain accurate for speed changes and this is important to remember when we convert from jam packing to a balanced mechanical seal.
		We sometimes experience an increase in motor speed rather than a drop in amperage during these conversions and the affinity laws will help you to predict the final outcome of the change.

	Encyclopedia article: Affinity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In law and in cultural anthropology (The social science that studies the origins and social relationships of human beings), affinity, as distinguished from consanguinity (Related by blood), is kinship by marriage (The state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce)).
		Collateral affinity is the relationship subsisting between the husband and the relations of his wife's relations.
		Affinity of one chemical to another is measured quantitatively by an equilibrium constant ((chemistry) the ratio of concentrations when equilibrium is reached in a reversible reaction (when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction)) of the bound and nonbound form.

	biology - Affinity
		In law and in cultural anthropology, affinity, as distinguished from consanguinity, is kinship by marriage.
		Formerly by law in England, marriages within the degrees of affinity were not absolutely null, but they were liable to be annulled by ecclesiastical process during the lives of both parties; in other words, the incapacity was only a canonical, not a civil, disability.
		Affinity of one chemical to another is measured quantitatively by an equilibrium constant of the bound and nonbound form.

	Engineered Systems: Beyond the affinity laws (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The affinity laws are frequently cited for energy savings calculations in VSD applications with pumps and fans, and they are just as frequently misused in an attempt to simplify those calculations.
		Many engineers recognize the fact that the affinity laws are for theoretical ideal situations; in order to correct for this shortcoming in dealing with a real situation, every engineer brings his own adjustment factor to modify the affinity laws.
		So far the power expression W as stipulated by the affinity laws is defined as the brake horsepower of the fan/pump for any given flow Q. In most real situations, an exact match between the peak design brake horsepower and the selected motor horsepower rating is very unlikely.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Affinity (In the Bible)
		affinity in linea recta, whereas childlessness is threatened to those who marry within the forbidden degrees in linea collaterali.
		It is well to note that childlessness here referred to means either that the offspring shall be looked upon as illegitimate, or that they shall be considered as the legitimate descendants of the deceased uncle or brother.
		In either case they would be childless before the law, and their possessions would pass into another family.

		The calculations are based on the affinity laws which in turn are derived from a dimensionless analysis of three important parameters that describe pump performance (ref: The Pump Handbook by McGraw-Hill, chapter 2).
		If that is the case then the affinity laws can be used to predict the performance of the pump at different diameters for the same speed or different speed for the same diameter.
		The process of arriving at the affinity laws assumes that the two operating points that are being compared are at the same efficiency.

		Affinity laws: the affinity laws are used to predict the change in diameter required to increase the flow or total head of a pump.
		The affinity laws can only be applied in circumstances where the system has a high friction head compared to the static head and this is because the affinity laws can only be applied between performance points that are at the same efficiency.
		The affinity laws are expressed by the three following relationships where Q is the flow rate, n the pump rpm, H the total head and P the power.

		However, the affinity laws are the frequent subject of debates.

		Like the law of gravity or the law of diminishing returns, these magical laws are not legislative acts (as some theologians have tried to make them) but rather they are descriptions of the ways that phenomena in the field – in this case magic – seems to interact and behave.

	MaintenanceWorld.com: The Affinity Laws for Rotary, Positive Displacement Pumps 13-6 - The McNally Institute
		The affinity laws accurately predict the affect of changing the speed of a centrifugal or rotary pump, and they also do a fairly good job of predicting the affect of changing the diameter of a centrifugal pump.
		In another paper (02-01) we discussed the affinity laws as they apply to centrifugal pumps, but in this paper we will look at their use with rotary pumps.
		There is a set of Affinity Laws for changes in viscosity, but unlike changes in speed the change in viscosity does not give you a direct change in capacity, NPSH required, or horsepower.

		It qualifies as centrifugal because it responds to the Affinity Laws, which predict the behavior of centrifugal machines.
		These laws basically state that the theoretical performance of a centrifugal pump can be predicted by application of a change in either its rotating speed or its impeller diameter.
		In practical application, it should be noted that a slight variation with calculated results should be expected due to flow phenomena resulting from things such as casting variations and departure from optimized design conditions.

		It is important to note that the above affinity laws as stated are only valid in theory where the flow Q1 has simply been changed to Q2 at the design stage.
		The most flagrant misuse of the affinity laws is to apply the cubic function directly on the kW formulation by stating that kW1 / kW2 = (Q1 / Q2)3.
		In a closed loop static (i.e., constant volume flow) situation, the affinity laws suggest that using a VFD would correct the brake horsepower on the fans/pumps by (0.83=) 0.51.
