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.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P=3290.84KW[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height[tex]h=29.2m[/tex]

Rate [tex]Q=11.5L/s=>11.5*10^{-3}[/tex]

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

[tex]P=\rho*g*Q*h[/tex]

[tex]P=1000*9.81*11.5*10^{-3}*29.2[/tex]

[tex]P=3290.84KW[/tex]
