Raw sewage is raised vertically by 5.49m in the amountof
1.89*106 liters each day . if the average density ofthe
sewage is 1.050 kg/m3 , and the waste enters andleaves
the pump through pipes of equal diameter and atmosphericpressure ,
What is the power output of the shift stationpump.

Respuesta :

Answer:

          P = 1235.7646 W

Explanation:

Given data:

height of raised sewage = 5.49 m

rate of sewage =1.89*10^6 lt/day

density of sewage = 1.050 kg/m^3

power is written as

[tex]P = \frac{work}{time}[/tex]

work  = m g h

[tex] m - mass = ( \rho V)[/tex]

  h -height

mass lifted per day [tex]= ( 1.89*10^6)(1.050)[/tex]

                              = 1984500 kg

time = 24 hours* 3600 seconds per hour

power[tex]P = \frac{( 1984500)(9.8)( 5.49)}{(24)(3600)}[/tex]

          P = 1235.7646 W
