Chapter 7, Problem 32P

Sewage at a certain pumping station is raised vertically by 5.49 m at the rate of 1 890 000 liters each day. The sewage, of density 1 050 kg/m3, enters and leaves the pump at atmospheric pressure and through pipes of equal diameter. (a) Find the output mechanical power of the lift station. (b) Assume an electric motor continuously operating with average power 5.90 kW runs the pump. Find its efficiency.

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3/s of water flows from an elevation of 90 m to a turbine, where electric power is generated. The overall efficiency of the turbine–generator is 84 percent. Disregarding frictional losses in piping, estimate the electric power output of this plant.
A lawnmower engine ejects 1.00 x 104 J each second while running with an efficiency of 0.200. Find the engine’s horsepower rating, using the conversion factor 1 hp = 746 W.
Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 25 m above at a rate of 70 L/s while consuming 22.4 kW of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine the overall efficiency of the pump–motor unit.
