Question

1] A pump draws water from an open reservoir, with a static suction head
of 26.24 feet, and lifts it to another open reservoir with a static discharge head of
25 meters. The diameter of the suction pipe is 15.24 cm and the diameter of
discharge pipe is 4.0 inches. The total head loss from A to B is 25 % of the total
dynamic head (TDH), and the head loss at the discharge side of the pump is 90 %
of the total head loss. The pump capacity is 50 lps. Determine: a) the pump brake
power if the efficiency is 82 %; b) the reading of the pressure gauge installed at
the suction side of the pump; and c) the reading of the pressure gauge installed at
the discharge side of the pump.
