Question

A pump with an efficiency of 15mm% is used to pump water from a tank (stationary water inside) at the
ground to an open swimming pool (atmospheric pressure) at the top of a residence, where surface of the
swimming pool has an elevation of 35m. The pressure in the tank in the ground is measured to be 150 kPa
absolute. The electric consumption of the pump is measured to be 1kW. What is the mass flow rate of the
pump?
Write the general first law of thermodynamics for an open system between two points, reduce it to steadystate mechanical energy equation for incompressible flows (like water). Take atmospheric pressure to be 100
kPa absolute
