Thirty (30) liters/second of stream water must be pumped up a vertical height of 12 meters to irrigate a farm. If head loss in casing and pump results in 62% pump efficiency and the electric motor used has 91% efficiency, what horsepower rating should the motor have and how many kilowatts will it use while pumping? GIVEN: q=30 l/s 0r 108 cu.m/hr h=12 m ME=91% PE=62% density of water =997 kg/cu.m
