Exercise from the chapter "Power, energy, efficiency"

Pump motor

Level 3 of 5 · Skills: Calculate

Statement

What power must the motor of a pump deliver to fill a 10000 litre tank in 10 h, given that the installation efficiency is 0.6 and the height difference is 11 m? (1 L = 1 kg)

m = 10000 kg · t = 10 h · η = 0.6 · h = 11 m

Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.

Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.

1 hint from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

W = m·g·h = 10000 × 9.81 × 11 = 1079000 J; t = 10 × 3,600 s; P = W / (t · η) = 49.96 W.

Circuit diagram CEI 60617

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / −, two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
