A pump with 400 mm diameter suction and a 350 mm diameter discharge pipe is to deliver 20,000 liters per minute of 15.6 degrees Celsius of water. Calculate the pump head in meters if suction gauge is 7.5 cm below pump centerline and reads 127 mm Hg vacuum and discharge gauge is 45 cm above the pump centerline and reads 75 kpa.
