c) Water is pumped from a deep well (located 20 m underground) to a hilltop reservoir (located at 50 m above ground level). Water is being transferred at a rate of 4800 LPM while the pump consumes 60,000 kW of electric power in the process. Assume that there are no frictional losses in the piping system and the change in kinetic energy between the inlet and outlet of the piping system is negligible. Determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor setup.

A fluid undergoes a frictionless process in a closed system form v1=5ft to v2=2ft^3 in accordance with the relation v=36/(p-8) where p is the psia and v is ft^3. During the process, the fluid rejects 30 BTU/lbm. Compute the change of heat transfer.
The capacity of a certain pump is 5251 gallons per hour with a capacity of 68.54%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 10.2 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 8848 ft having a total friction loss of 222.7 (ft-lbf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 14.7 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour?
