A pump continuously supplies water to an open tank for 12 hours daily. If the theoretical horsepower for the process is 4 hp (1 hp = 550 (ft∙lb_f)/s) and the pump is 65% efficient, determine the total monthly cost. Assume electricity costs 4.5 Php/kWh.
If a pump is capable of lifting 5000kg of water through a vertical height of 60m in 15 min, the power of the pump is
Although hydraulic turbines considered one of the most efficient power plants, their ecological impact is a big concern. Discuss this issue and suggest remedies for such problems by writing 100 words at least.
