A centrifugal pump compresses 3000 liters/min of water from 98 kPa to 300 kPa. The inlet and outlet temperatures are 25 °c. The inlet and discharge piping are on the same level, but the diameter of the inlet piping is 15 em, whereas that of the discharge piping is 10 em. Determine the pump power in kW.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine the pump power in kW we need to use the following equation Pump Power Flow Rate x Pressure Rise Efficiency x Density x Conversion Factor ... View the full answer
