A pump takes water from an 8 inch suction pipe and delivers it to a 6 inch pipe in which the velocity is 8 feet per second. At a point along the suction pipe, a pressure of -6 psi is observed while a pressure of 60 psi is observed along the discharge pipe, 15 feet higher than the previous point. What horsepower must be supplied to the pump of efficiency 80 percent to maintain the system.
