1.1) A pump draws water from an open reservoir, with a static suction head of 26.24 feet, and lifts it to another open reservoir with a static discharge head of 25 meters. The diameter of the suction pipe is 15.24 cm and the diameter of discharge pipe is 4.0 inches. The total head loss from A to B is 25 % of the total dynamic head (TDH), and the head loss at the discharge side of the pump is 90 % of the total head loss. The pump capacity is 50 lps.
Determine:
a) the pump brake power if the efficiency is 82 %
b) the reading of the pressure gauge installed at the suction side of the pump
c) the reading of the pressure gauge installed at the discharge side of the pump.
