An oil pump is drawing 18 kW of electric power while pumping oil with density 860 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 20 cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 250 kPa and the motor efficiency is 95 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump. Take the kinetic energy correction factor as 1.05. 18 kW Docm Pump Motor 8 сm Oil AP = 250 kPa 0.1 m/s The mechanical efficiency of the pump is |%.

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
