6. A pump is delivering water from the surface of a lake to a tank 20m above at a rate of 70L/s while the pump label suggests it consumes 18kW of electric power. If all the loses and any changes of kinetic energy are negligible, a. What is the pump efficiency? b. What is the pressure rise of water in the pump?

c) Water is pumped from a deep well (located 20 m underground) to a hilltop reservoir (located at 50 m above ground level). Water is being transferred at a rate of 4800 LPM while the pump consumes 60,000 kW of electric power in the process. Assume that there are no frictional losses in the piping system and the change in kinetic energy between the inlet and outlet of the piping system is negligible. Determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor setup.
The capacity of a certain pump is 5251 gallons per hour with a capacity of 68.54%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 10.2 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 8848 ft having a total friction loss of 222.7 (ft-lbf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 14.7 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour? Note that in this problem, the inlet to the pump is 35.7 ft above the surface of the body of water while the water level in the tank discharge is always 380 ft above the pump discharge Answer options: 700 557 1175 685 226

Water is being pumped from an atmospheric source on the ground at the rate of 200 liter/minute to a pressurized tank on top of an office building through a constant diameter pipe. The discharge to the pressurized tank is 20 meters off the ground and the tank has a gauge pressure of 5 bar. Ignoring frictional losses, determine the a)power the pump must supply the fluid in W (Correct Answer is 2321 W) By performing an energy balance around the pump and ignoring friction and any changes in height between the inlet and outlet of the pump determine the: b) increase in pressure across the pump in psi (Correct Answer is 101 psi)
