Water is pumped from a lower chamber to a higher chamber by a pump driven by a 55 kW electric motor with an efficiency of 85%. The free surface of the upper chamber (open surface to the atmosphere) is 75 m higher than the free surface of the chamber below. The free surface velocities are negligible. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is given as 9.81 m/s^2. Since the mass flow rate of the water is 50 kg/s, calculate the mechanical power loss in kW during the upward transfer of the water. 1.665 9.96 18.21 3.21 12,45 5.70
