    Convert the units of power, W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft

    Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83 Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump / (gz_2) Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640 m^3/s for in and 1000 m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s
