Apump is required to pipe water from a well 7.0m in depth to an open-topped water tank at ground level. the pipe at the top of the pump, where the water pours into the water tank, is 2.00cm in diameter. the water flow in the pipe is 5.00m/s.
what is the kinetic energy density of the water flow?
what pressure is required at the bottom of the well? (assume no energy is lost – i. e., that the fluid is traveling smoothly.)
what power is being delivered to the water by the pump? (hint: for the next part, refer to chapter 12)
if the pump has an efficiency of 45%, what is the pump’s electrical power consumption?
if the pump is operating on a 220v power supply (typical for large pieces of equipment like this), how much electrical current does the pump draw?
at 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost to operate this pump for a month if it is running 5% of the time?
