Water flows into a pump at 200 kPa and exits at 600 kPa What

Water flows into a pump at 200 kPa and exits at 600 kPa. What is the pump head, in meters?

Solution

Solution :

From the given data we can see that

Pressure difference = 600-200 = 400 Kpa of pressure difference = Pump head

To convert the pressure difference into pump head the conversion factor is 9.81

Hence Pump head = 400 /9.81 = 40.79 m
