Question: ( 8 points ) The pump shown below is used to increase the pressure of oil in a pipeline. The oil flows into the pump

(8 points) The pump shown below is used to increase the pressure of oil in a pipeline. The oil flows into the pump at a rate of 10.6Ls and the pressure is increased by 155 kPa . The
motor that powers the pump is connected to a 218 V source.
What is the efficiency of the pump-motor system if the motor uses a current of 37.43 A ?
%
If the efficiency of the pump-motor system is 79.9%, what is the current?
A
In this case, if the efficiency of the motor alone is 96.6%, what is the efficiency of the pump alone?
%
In this case, what is the rate of shaft work transferred from the motor to the pump?
kW
(6 points) A large wind turbine is used for electricity generation. The turbine has a blade span diameter of 47 m and is installed in an area that has steady winds at 3.9ms. This wind
turbine-generator converts 28.4% of the available energy into electricity. The density of the air is 1.25kgm3.
(Hint. Think of the air as flowing through a pipe that has a diamter similar to the wind turbine. Wind turbines take advantage of the air's velocity.)
What is the power generated from this windmill?
If the blade span diameter is reduced by 30%, the efficiency of the turbine-generator increases to 59.356%. What is the power generated from this new design.
