Question

A pump transfers water from a lake to a reservoir, which is located 29.2 m above the lake, at a rate of 11.5 L/s. Determine the amount of power (in kW) required to pump water from the lake to the reservoir.

Answer 1

`P=3290.84KW`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height
`h=29.2m`

Rate
`Q=11.5L/s=>11.5*10^(-3)`

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

`P=\rho*g*Q*h`

`P=1000*9.81*11.5*10^(-3)*29.2`

`P=3290.84KW`
