In terms of Pressure unit per Mass
where
P measured pressure of a fluid at a particular point
z elevation, in m or ft
u velocity of the fluid in a pipe or conduit, in m/s or ft/s
g gravitational constant, SI: 9.80665 m/s2; English: 32.174

EXERCISE
Water is being pumped from a large
EXERCISE
Change in pressure: 0 (both are ATM)
Change in elevation: 25 m
Change in kinetic energy: 0
EXERCISE
5 m + 25 m = 30 m
Note: 30 m is called theoretical pump
head
EXERCISE
= 30 m
Converting to kJ/kg:
= 30 m * (g/gc)
= 30 m (9.80665m/s2)/(1kgm/s2/N)
*(1J/1Nm) * (1kJ/1000J)
= 0.2941995 kJ/kg
EXERCISE
= 0.2942 kJ/kg
Converting to kW:
= 0.2942 * (, kg/s)
= 0.2942 kJ/kg * (1000 kg/m3) *(25 L/s)*
* (1 m3/1000 L)
= 7.35499 kJ/s = 7.355 kW
This theoretical pump power is also called
Light Horsepower (LHP).
EXERCISE
=
7.355 kW
= 10 kW
Actual pump power is also called
Brake Horsepower (BHP)
Efficiency, h = Ws (theo)/ Ws (actual) x 100%
= 7.355 kW/10 kW x 100%
= 73.55 percent. (Ans)
