An oil pump is drawing 25 kW of electric power while pumping oil with r = 860 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 250 kPa and the motor efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump. Take the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.05.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 24 f t, the sides are 5 f t high, and the depth of the water is 4 f t. How much work is required to pump all of the water out over the side? Use the fact that water weighs 62.5 lb/f t3 and g=1. Note: Just set up the integral. Do not evaluate it
In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter cast iron pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take the average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent.
A centrifugal pump operating under steady flow conditions delivers 2,270 kg/min of water from an initial pressure of 82,740Pa to a final pressure of 275,800 Pa. The diameter of the inlet pipe to the pump is 15.24 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 10.16 cm. What is the work?
