Overall efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overall Efficiency of Centrifugal Pump = (Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump*Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet*Manometric Head of Centrifugal Pump)/Input Power to Centrifugal Pump
η_o = (w*Q*H_m)/P_in
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Overall Efficiency of Centrifugal Pump - Overall efficiency of centrifugal pump is the ratio of the power output of the pump to the power input to the pump.
Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific weight of fluid in pump is the weight of fluid per unit volume.
Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual discharge at centrifugal pump outlet is the actual amount of the liquid outflow from the outlet of the centrifugal pump.
Manometric Head of Centrifugal Pump - (Measured in Meter) - The Manometric Head of Centrifugal Pump is the head against which the centrifugal pump has to work.
Input Power to Centrifugal Pump - (Measured in Watt) - Input power to centrifugal pump is the power at the input or the inlet of a centrifugal pump.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Fluid in Pump: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Actual Discharge at Centrifugal Pump Outlet: 0.056 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.056 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Manometric Head of Centrifugal Pump: 25.3 Meter --> 25.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Input Power to Centrifugal Pump: 31.5 Kilowatt --> 31500 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_o = (w*Q*H_m)/P_in --> (9810*0.056*25.3)/31500

Evaluating ... ...

η_o = 0.441232

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.441232 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.441232 <-- Overall Efficiency of Centrifugal Pump
