Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump with a shaft power. of and an efficiency of . The free surface of the upper reservoir is higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. The flow rate of water is measured to be , and density of water is , a) Determine the irreversible loss in pipe of the system in the unit of and , respectively. In order to get the full credit, draw a control volume and designate inlet and outlet regions. b) Calculate the pressure difference (i.e. Pon across pump if the diameter of the pipe is on the intake side and on the discharge side. Kinetic correction factor is assumed to be one, and elevation difference between intake and discharge sides are negligible. In order to get the full credit, draw a control volume and designate inlet and outlet regions. c) Now, a motor is added to the pump, and overall efficiency of motor-pump is . What is the electrical power applied to the system? Units:
