Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. Water (density = 1000 kg/m3) at ambient temperature flows through a horizontal pipe of uniform cross-section at the rate of 1 kg/s. If the pressure drop across the pipe is 100 kPa, the minimum power required to pump the water across the pipe, in Watt, is _______.
    1. 100 Watt
    2. 150 Watt
    3. 50 Watt
    4. 200 Watt
Correct Option: A

W = m v(P1 - P2)

W = 1 ×
1
100 × 103 = 10 Watt
1000
