Question: Question 2 , ( 3 0 marks ) An oil pump is drawing 5 0 kW of electric power while pumping gasoline with a density

Question 2,(30 marks)
An oil pump is drawing 50 kW of electric power while pumping gasoline with a density of with a
density of 730Kgm3 Given that the volumetric flowrate through the pump is 75Ls, the speed at
the inlet and outlet of the pipe are 25ms and 14.5ms respectively. If the change in pressure
observed at the pump is 420 kPa and the motor efficiency is 76%,
Determine the:
(i) The mechanical power,
(ii) The shaft power and the overall mechanical efficiency of the pump.
