A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose density is 1,158 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.37 m3/s from a depth of 344 m. By considering the efficiency of a pump device and taking the pump efficiency as 81 percent, determine the required power (kW) input to the pump to 1 decimal place. Disregard frictional losses in the pipes, assume that kinetic energy is negligible and the geothermal water is exposed to the atmosphere and thus its free surface is at atmospheric pressure. Take gravity as 9.81 m/s2 and assume the changes in kinetic energy are negligible.

on the island, hydropower is expected to be extracted from a river of the river system via a pipe, 74 m long, to a turbine.During the dry season, from February to May the average daily flow rate of the river is 35 m3s-1 and for the remaining 8 months, the average daily flow rate of the water is 115 m3s-1.

A mining company depleted more than half of its ore reserves and is no longer using all of its shaft infrastructure. It considers using one of the old shafts for pumped-storage hydro-electricity generation. This means that water will be pumped to the higher level, which is 1 000 m above the bottom level, at night when Eskom charges lower, off-peak, rates. The “higher level” will be changed into a dam (reservoir) by means of plugs that will be installed in some tunnels. The stored water has potential energy, which will be used to generate electricity for the mine at peak hours, when electricity is expensive. The pump that will be installed at the bottom of the column will also be used as a turbine for the generation of electricity The pump-as-turbine (PAT) must pump water to a height of 1 000 m through a column with an internal diameter (ID) of 345 mm. 3.1.
