A pump delivers 95 liters per second of water through a 203 mm diameter suction pipe and 152 mm diameter discharge pipe. The suction and discharge pipes are 3m and 21 m long respectively. The water is delivered to reservoir 20 m above the intake water level. The turbulence losses ins the suction pipe are 0.10 m and 0.20 m in the discharge pipe. Assuming that the friction factor for the pipe and fluid flow is 0.025, determine the A) total dynamic head; and b) pump brake power if the pump efficiency is 75%.

A pump delivers 95 liters per second of water through a 203 mm diameter suction pipe and 152
mm diameter discharge pipe. The suction and discharge pipes are 3m and 21 m long,
respectively. The water is delivered to reservoir 20 m above the intake water level. The
turbulence losses ins the suction pipe are 0.10 m and 0.20 m in the discharge pipe. Assuming that
the friction factor for the pipe and fluid flow is 0.025, determine the A) total dynamic head; and
b) pump brake power if the pump efficiency is 75%.
