A centrifugal pump is operating at a flow rate of 1 m3/s and a head of 20 m. If the specific weight of water is 9800 N/m3 and the pump efficiency is 85%, the power required by the pump is most nearly:

The power required by the pump is nearly 230.588 kW

Explanation:

Flow rate of the pump Q = 1 m^3/s

the head flow H = 20 m

specific weight of water γ = 9800 N/m^3

efficiency of the pump η = 85%

First note that specific gravity of water is the product of the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.

γ = ρg

where ρ is density. For water its value is 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

The power to lift this water at this rate will be gotten from the equation

P = ρgQH

but ρg = γ

therefore,

P = γQH

imputing values, we'll have

P = 9800 x 1 x 20 = 196000 W

But the centrifugal pump that will be used will only be able to lift this amount of water after the efficiency factor has been considered. The power of pump needed must be greater than this power.

we can say that

196000 W is 85% of the power of the pump power needed, therefore

196000 = 85% of

where is the power of the pump needed

85% = 0.85

196000 = 0.85

= 196000/0.85 = 230588.24 W

Pump power = 230.588 kW

  scorpions are animals in the order scorpiones, under the class arachnida, which makes them a distant cousin of spiders

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
