A pump draws water (SG=0.998) from reservoir A and transports it to reservoir B, with a static suction head of 8 m and a static discharge head of 28 m. The diameter of the suction pipe is 15.24 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 4 inches. The total head loss from A to be is 25% of the total dynamic head (TDH) and the head loss at the discharge line is 90% of the total head loss. If the pump capacity is 60 Ips, determine the following: a. Pump brake power if the efficiency is 82% b. Reading of the pressure gauge installed at the suction flange of the pump. c. Reading of the pressure gauge installed at the discharge of the pump.

Question
A pump draws water (SG=0.998) from reservoir A and transports it to reservoir B, with a static
suction head of 8 m and a static discharge head of 28 m. The diameter of the suction pipe is
15.24 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 4 inches. The total head loss from A to be is
25% of the total dynamic head (TDH) and the head loss at the discharge line is 90% of the total
head loss. If the pump capacity is 60 Įps, determine the following:
a. Pump brake power if the efficiency is 82%
b. Reading of the pressure gauge installed at the suction flange of the pump.
c. Reading of the pressure gauge installed at the discharge of the pump.
