An oil pump is drawing 25 kW of electric power while pumping oil with density of 860 kg/m³ at a rate of 0.1 m³/s as shown in figure Q2a. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 cm respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 250 kPa and the motor efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency (5 marks) of the pump. Take the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.05. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³.
