A pump is pumping water at a flow rate of Q = 125 Liter per minute against a head of 18 meters. Assuming the mechanical efficiency of 85 %, what is the shaft power of the pump required for the pump in Watts? Assume water density at 1000 kg/m3 and gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2.

Answer #1

Given data : Q = 125 lt/min = / 60 sec = 2.0833 *   /sec

                      Head, H = 18m , = 1000 Kg/m3 , g = 9.81 m/sec2

                      Mechanical efficiency = 85%

The Power of the Pump required is given by

=  = 432.787 Watt

Hence, Power P = 432.787 W

Water is pumped by a motor-pump unit from a lake to a storage tank 17 m above at a rate of 120 L/s. The storage tank is open to the atmosphere. The motor consumes 25 kW of electric power and the motor effciency is 95%. Disregarding any changes in kinetic energy of the water, determine (a) the overall effciency of the pump-motor unit, (b) the effciency of the pump and (c) the shaft power supplied by the motor to the...

A horizontal (x direction +→) water jet from a round nozzle is striking towards right on a curved vane at velocity V = 8 m/s with a flow rate of Q = 160 Liter per minute. The direction of water is turned downwards by 45° from the direction of the striking jet and exiting the vane at the same speed. Calculate the net momentum change (exit - inlet) in the direction of the striking fluid (along x direction towards right→)...

The pump in a water tower raises water with a density of ρw = 1.00 kg/liter from a filtered pool at the bottom of the tower up hT = 25 m to the highest point of the tower. The water begins at rest in the pool and comes to rest at the highest point of the tower. The pump is 100% efficient in lifting the water, and it raises a volume of Vw = 8.6 liters of water up the...
