A centrifugal pump is used to lift water from a water reservoir with level 2 m below the pump center line. Then, to another reservoir with level 5 m above the center line. Pressure gages readings fromn the suction and discharge are 1 bar and 4 bars respectively. The flow rate at 0.45 m/s with pipe inside dianeters of 400 mm at suction and 250 mm at the discharge. Assume over all head loss due to friction of 4 J/N, if the pump has an efficiency of 80% and the motor has an efficiency of 90 %, what is the needed electrical power in kW?

A centrifugal pump is used to lift water from a water reservoir with level 2 m below
the pump center line. Then, to another reservoir with level 5 m above the center line.
Pressure gages readings fromn the suction and discharge are 1 bar and 4 bars
respectively. The flow rate at 0.45 m/s with pipe inside diameters of 400 mm at
suction and 250 mm at the discharge.
Assume over all head loss due to friction of 4 J/N, if the pump has an efficiency of
80% and the motor has an efficiency of 90 %, what is the needed electrical power in
kW?
