Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A pump is used to increase the pressure of water from 100 kPa to 900 kPa at a rate of 160 L/min. If the shaft power input to the pump is 3 kW, the efficiency of the pump is (a) 0.532 (b) 0.660 (c) 0.711 (d ) 0.747 (e) 0.855
A centrifugal pump that is used in pumping water to a tank operates at a rate of 1 gpm. The pump is driven directly by an electric motor with an input power of 1.5 hp running at a speed of 1700 rpm. The total head loss of the system is 10 m. If the motor drives the pump at 2200 rpm. What would be the increase in the input power of the pump?
The theoretical pump power requirement to maintain a certain fluid flow is 1800 W. If the pump is working at 68% efficiency, how much power must the pump be able to supply at the minimum?
