Problem

Find the efficiency of a pump, if the electric current flowing through it has an effective value I=125mAI = 125mA when attached to a standard power supply of voltage U=230VU = 230V. Our pump pumps oil with density ρ=870kg⋅m−3\rho = 870 kg \cdot m^{-3} through pressure difference Δp=120hPa\Delta p = 120hPa with volumetric flow rate Q=0.83ml⋅s−1Q = 0.83 ml \cdot s^{-1}.
