Determine the power required by the pump to raise the 4m3/min of water to a reservoir at a height of 12m.Find out the output power
Answers
Answer:
this will be the answer.
Requirement of power by the pump is 7848 Watt.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Rate of volume of water is 4m3/min
Height of Reservoir is 12m
To Find: Requirement of power by the pump.
Formula Used: power = work / time
Mass = Density x Volume
Potential Energy= m x g x h
Here, m = Mass of water
g = Acceleration of gravity
h = Height of Reservoir
Solution: Rate of volume of water = 4 m^3/min
Using standard value of Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
Rate of mass of water = 4 x 1000 kg/min
= 4000 kg/min
Work= Potential Energy
= m x g x h
Using standard value Acceleration of gravity =9.81 m/s^2
Power = Work/Time
= m x g x h/Time
= (4000 x 12 x 9.81)/60
= 7848 Watt
Thus, Requirement of power by the pump is 7848 Watt.
