Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump with a shaft power. of 30kW and an efficiency of 75%. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 30m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. The flow rate of water is measured to be 10U/s, and density of water is 1000kg/m3, a) Determine the irreversible loss in pipe of the system in the unit of m and kW, 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 ?Pin?) across pump if the diameter of the pipe is 5cm on the intake side and 3cm 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 65%. What is the electrical power applied to the system? Units: 1N=[kg?m/s2],1Pa=m2N?=[kg/m?s2],1W=sL?=sNm?=[s2kgm??sm?],1000L=1m3
