Question 41
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
A centrifugal pump is used to pump water (density 1000 kg/m³) from an inlet pressure of 10⁵ Pa to an exit pressure of 2×10⁵ Pa. The exit is at an elevation of 10 m above the pump. The average velocity of the fluid is 10 m/s. The cross-sectional area of the pipes at the pump inlet and outlet is 10⁻³ m² and acceleration due to gravity is
m/s². Neglecting losses in the system, the power (in Watts) delivered by the pump is ________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).Log in to check the answer
