A transfer pump delivers water from an on ground to an elevated tank thru a 120m-100mmØ transmission line. The required supply flow rate of the elevated tank is 120gpm. The on ground tank maintains a water level of 2.5m and the pump is located along ground level. The ground elevation of the on elevated tank is 1.2m higher than the level of the pump, the height of the leg of the tank is 13m and the inlet pipe is 2.2m from the top of the leg of the elevated tank. The fittings along the line is given on the table below, determine the WHP, BHP and MHP of the pump if the Pump efficiency is 60% and the Motor Efficiency is 58%. (C=140)

2) A transfer pump delivers water from an on ground to an elevated tank thru a
120m-100mmØ transmission line. The required supply flow rate of the elevated tank
is 120gpm. The on ground tank maintains a water level of 2.5m and the pump is
located along ground level. The ground elevation of the on elevated tank is 1.2m
higher than the level of the pump, the height of the leg of the tank is 13m and the
inlet pipe is 2.2m from the top of the leg of the elevated tank. The fittings along the
line is given on the table below, determine the WHP, BHP and MHP of the pump if
the Pump efficiency is 60% and the Motor Efficiency is 58%. (C=140)
