A centrifugal pump draws water from a 38cm pipe from an open reservoir in which the water surface is 2.6m below the pump centerline and discharges through a 30cm pipe. At a point in the discharge 2.35m above the pump centerline a pressure gage reads 320 kPa gage. The discharge is 200Liters/sec, the head loss in the suction is 0.15m and in the discharge is 1.05m. Power input to the pump is 140hp. Determine the following:   a. The total dynamic head in meters 36.923 41.527 39.188 b. The Water Power (WP) in kW 76.863 80.451 81.451 c. The pump efficiency in percent 77.659 73.596 80.876

Question
 A centrifugal pump draws water from a 38cm pipe from an open reservoir in which the water surface is 2.6m below the pump centerline and discharges through a 30cm pipe. At a point in the discharge 2.35m above the pump centerline a pressure gage reads 320 kPa gage. The discharge is 200Liters/sec, the head loss in the suction is 0.15m and in the discharge is 1.05m. Power input to the pump is 140hp. Determine the following:
 
a. The total dynamic head in meters
36.923
41.527
39.188
b. The Water Power (WP) in kW
76.863
80.451
81.451
c. The pump efficiency in percent
77.659
73.596
80.876
