Five practice questions, worked

Original questions written to this exam's published syllabus and pattern. Not past papers.

1. A pump lifts 0.02 m³ s⁻¹ of water through a total head of 30 m. With pump efficiency 50 per cent and motor efficiency 85 per cent, what electrical input power is needed? (ρ = 1000 kg m⁻³, g = 9.81 m s⁻²)

  1. 5.9 kW
  2. 13.8 kW
  3. 11.8 kW
  4. 2.5 kW
Answer and working

B. 13.8 kW

Hydraulic power = 1000 × 9.81 × 0.02 × 30 = 5886 W = 5.89 kW; electrical input = 5.89 ÷ (0.50 × 0.85) = 13.8 kW. 5.9 is hydraulic power; 11.8 ignores the motor; 2.5 multiplies by the efficiencies instead of dividing.

2. How does a preliminary (walk-through) energy audit differ from a detailed audit?

  1. It replaces the need for any later financial appraisal of measures
  2. It measures every piece of equipment for a full year with permanent meters
  3. It uses existing data and a site visit, without full measurement
  4. It is required only for buildings, never for industrial plants
Answer and working

C. It uses existing data and a site visit, without full measurement

A walk-through audit is a quick assessment using available data; a detailed audit measures energy use by equipment and quantifies savings and costs. Neither replaces financial appraisal.
