A centrifugal pump operating under steady flow conditions delivers 2285 kg/min of water from an initial pressure of 82720 Pa to a final pressure of 275840 Pa. The diameter of the inlet pipe to the pump is 15.20 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 10.5cm. What is the work in kW? [Pwater=1000 kg/m³]
15. Refer to the figure below. In a hydroelectric power plant, 70m³/s of water (p = 1010kg/m³) flows from an elevation of 125m to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The overall efficiency of the turbine-generator is 84% (16% of total energy was lost). Disregarding frictional losses in piping, estimate the electric power output of this plant. 70mis 125m Turbine Generator utine p 84% Refer to Problem 15
