From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p

ower. (Assuming no frictional losses or kinetic energy change taking place), determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor unit. (Take gravitational acceleration as 10 m/s2).

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

In the explanation :)

Explanation:

Heat is a concept that is important to understand in various engineering fields. It is particularly relevant for civil, mechanical and chemical engineers because heat transfer plays a key role in material selection, machinery efficiency and reaction kinetics, respectively.
