Question: A motor pump ( radial flow centrifugal pump ) provides a flow rate of 1 m ^ 3 / s of water and an effective

A motor pump (radial flow centrifugal pump) provides a flow rate of 1 m^3/s of water and an effective head of 110 m. The total efficiency of the motor pump is 75% and the electric motor rotates at 1750 rpm. Determine the annual energy expenditure (cost) if the system operates with a load factor of 40% and the unit purchase price of electric power is $2.5/kWh. Consider the water density of 1000 kg/m^3.
