We want to pump water from a well 20 m deep at the rate of 500 L/min. Assuming 60 % pump efficiency, how powerful should the pump motor be?
The pump motor power can be found as follows:
here, is the flow rate of the pump, is the density of the water, is acceleration due to gravity, is the head of the pump, is the pump efficiency.
Then, we get:
