Answer:
HP = 27.08 hp
Explanation:
The complete question has a theoretical flow rate of 18.2 GPM. So, to find the input horsepower, we will use the following formula:
HP = QP/1714(E)
where,
HP = Input Horse Power = ?
Q = Volume Flow Rate in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) = 18.2 GPM
P = Outlet Pressure in psi = 2372 psi
E = Mechanical Efficiency = 0.93
Therefore,
HP = (18.2 GPM)(2372 psi)/(1714)(0.93)
HP = 27.08 hp
