(a) A cold-water storage cistern is 70m vertically above a centrifugal pump which is to be used for raising 60000 litres of water from a low-level break cistern every 4 hours. Allowing 20 percent of the height for pipe friction, and the efficiency of the pumping equipment is 88%, calculate the cost of pumping water continuously for one fortnight, with a mandatory cool down of four hours each day, if the electricity rate is $7.00 for first 100Kw and then $10.00 for next 1100Kw. (b) Calculate the time in hours that it will take to raise the temperature of 150kg of water from 10°C to 100°C by means of a 3 kW immersion heater when the heat losses are 10 percent and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 kJ.
