An ice plant owner decided to install a water pump from a nearby clean fresh water source to supply its water requirements. The capacity of the pump is 45.5 cu m per hour against a head of 43 meters with an efficiency of 70% at full load and 40% at half load. The total cost of the pumping unit including the piping system of the plant is P 700,000 with zero salvage value at the end of the its estimated life of 20 years. The prime mover of the pump is an electric motor and cost of power is P2.10 per kwh. Taxes, insurances and maintenance cost is 1.5% of the first cost per year. The pump will operate 200 days continuous operation per year at half load and 150 days at full load. If cost of money is 12%, how much will it cost the owner to operate the pump per cubic meter?
