Question:

An engineer is using an experiment to characterize the power P consumed by a fan (see photo) to be used in an electronics cooling application. Power depends on four variables: P = f(ρ, D, Q, n), where ρ is the density of air, D is the diameter of the fan impeller, Q is the flow rate produced by the fan, and n is the rotation rate of the fan. Find the relevant π-groups and suggest a way to plot the data.
