Step 1
The power input can be calculated using the formula: Power = Pressure * Flow rate Given that the power input is 0.5 kW and the flow rate is 1.4 kg/s, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the pressure: Pressure = Power / Flow rate Pressure = 0.5 kW / 1.4 Show more…

Liquid water at 120 kPa enters a 7-kW pump where its pressure is raised to 5 MPa. If the elevation difference between the exit and the inlet levels is 10 m, determine the highest mass flow rate of liquid water this pump can handle. Neglect the kinetic energy change of water, and take the specific volume of water to be 0.001 m3 /kg.

Liquid water at $120 \mathrm{kPa}$ enters a $7-\mathrm{kW}$ pump where its pressure is raised to $5 \mathrm{MPa}$. If the elevation difference between the exit and the inlet levels is $10 \mathrm{~m}$, determine the highest mass flow rate of liquid water this pump can handle. Neglect the kinetic energy change of water, and take the specific volume of water to be $0.001 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{kg}$.
A small pump is driven by a $2 \mathrm{kW}$ motor with liquid water at $150 \mathrm{kPa}$ and $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ entering. Find the maximum water flow rate you can get with an exit pressure of $1 \mathrm{MPa}$ and negligible kinetic energies. The exit flow goes through a small hole in a spray nozzle out to the atmosphere at $100 \mathrm{kPa}$, shown in Fig. $P 9.80 .$ Find the spray velocity.
