An oil pump is being driven by the shaft of an electric


An oil pump is being driven by the shaft of an electric motor. The motor consumes 44 kW of power while pumping the oil – having a density of 0.860 g/cm3 – at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of the oil in the pump is measured to be 500 kPa, and the electric motor efficiency is 90%, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
