1.2 A pump, delivers 320 lps of oil (SG = 0.88), has a 400-mm diameter suction pipe and a 14-inch diameter discharge pipe. The suction vacuum gauge located 10 inches below the pump centerline reads 125 mm Hg. The discharge gauge, which is 20 inches above the pump centerline, reads 12 psi. Determine the pump power if the pump efficiency is 79 %.

1.2 A pump, delivers 320 lps of oil (SG = 0.88), has a 400-mm diameter suction pipe and a 14-inch diameter discharge pipe. The suction vacuum gauge located 10 inches below the pump centerline reads 125 mm Hg. The discharge gauge, which is 20 inches above the pump centerline, reads 12 psi. Determine the pump power if the pump efficiency is 79 %.

1.3 A pipe discharges 142 lps of water into a reservoir at a point 1.85 m below the water surface. At point A the diameter is 25.4 cm and the center of the pipe is 1.25 m above the water surface. At the discharge end the pipe is 30.5 cm. If the head loss from A to the reservoir is 0.7 m, determine the pressure in A.
