A water pump has the following performance based on the tabulation below: Q, liters/min Total head, m Power in, W 100 12.0 208.5 120 10.0 204.2 140 8.5 211.3 160 7.5 227.9 180 7.0 263.8
Q, liters/min | Total head,m | Power in,W |
100 | 12.0 | 208.5 |
120 | 10.0 | 204.2 |
140 | 8.5 | 211.3 |
160 | 7.5 | 227.9 |
180 | 7.0 | 263.8 |
1. Make computations each for the efficiencies at the different flowrates and total heads of the pump. Recommend at what total head should the pump be operated for maximum efficiency.
