A pump with an efficiency of 15mm% is used to pump water from a tank (stationary water inside) at theground to an open swimming pool (atmospheric pressure) at the top of a residence, where surface of theswimming pool has an elevation of 35m. The pressure in the tank in the ground is measured to be 150 kPaabsolute. The electric consumption of the pump is measured to be 1kW. What is the mass flow rate of thepump?Write the general first law of thermodynamics for an open system between two points, reduce it to steadystate mechanical energy equation for incompressible flows (like water). Take atmospheric pressure to be 100kPa absolute

Water is pumped to a storage tank from a pool by a centrifugal pump. The elevation difference between the pool and the storage tank is 60 m. The stórage tank and the pool are open to atmosphere. 50 meters of 6 in Sc 40 steel pipe is used between pool andpump. After the pump 6 in Sc 40 pipe with a length of 22 m is suddenly contracted to 4 in Sc 40 pipe, that is 70 m. The flow rate of water is 2.5 m/min and the temperature is 20°C. If the pump efficiency is 0.6 and the cost of electrical energy is 0.40 TL/kWh,calculate daily cost of electricity used for this system
An ice plant owner decided to install a water pump from a nearby clean fresh water source to supply its water requirements. The capacity of the pump is 45.5 cu m per hour against a head of 43 meters with an efficiency of 70% at full load and 40% at half load. The total cost of the pumping unit including the piping system of the plant is P 700,000 with zero salvage value at the end of the its estimated life of 20 years. The prime mover of the pump is an electric motor and cost of power is P2.10 per kwh. Taxes, insurances and maintenance cost is 1.5% of the first cost per year. The pump will operate 200 days continuous operation per year at half load and 150 days at full load. If cost of money is 12%, how much will it cost the owner to operate the pump per cubic meter?
