Homework Statement


A differential thermocouple with sensors at the inlet and exits of a pump indicates that the temperature of water rises 0.072F as it flows through the pump at a rate of 1.5ft^3/s. If the shaft power input to the pump is 27hp.


Homework Equations


Determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump
