A pump is to deliver 80 GPM of water at a density of 61. 83lb/ft3 with a discharge pressure of 150 psig. Suction pressure indicates a 2 HG vacuum. The diameter of the suction and the discharge are 5 in. and 4 in. respectively. The pump has an efficiency of 70% while the motor efficiency is 80%. Determine the (a) water horsepower of the pump (b) bhp of the pump motor (c) power input to drive the motor.
