6. A pump draws water from a well 4m below its centreline through 8m of 125mm diameter pipe. It delivers freely at 22m above the pump centreline through 60m of 75mm diameter pipe. Both pipes are "smooth". (a) What are the pressures at the pump inlet and outlet when the flow is 20L/s? (b) What energy is added to the flow by the pump? (c) What power is required to drive the pump at this flow rate if the pump efficiency is 70%? (-41.9kPa, 331kPa, 382J/kg, 10.9kW)
