An oil pump is drawing 44kW while pumping oil with a density of 860 kg/m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8cm and 12cm, respectively. If the pressure increases by 500kPa going through the pump and the motoreffi ciency is 90%, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump
Answer:
The mechanical efficiency of the pump is 91.8 %
