Oustion 2: (32 points)
A water pumping system is used to fill a tank on a hill from a nearby lake (water density=1000kgm3). The elevation difference between the lake surface (Point 1- atmospheric conditions) and the water discharge point (Point 2- atmospheric conditions) is 25 m , as shown in the schematic. The system:
Delivers 0.05m3s of water.
Consumes 30 kW of electrical power.
Has a total head loss of 2 m for the pipeline segments combined.
Has a constant pipe diameter throughout.
Calculate (a) the efficiency of the pump-motor assembly; and (b) the pressure drop across the pump (i.e. between the pump inlet and exit).
