Question

Transcribed Image Text:2. Two pumps are connected in series in a single pipeline. Find the combined efficiency of the
pumps at Q = 2000 gpm (gallons per minute), given the following data. See figure.
At Q= 1000 gpm:
H1 = head provided by pump 1 = 85 ft
H2 = head provided by pump 2 = 140 ft
Ni = efficiency of pump 1 = 40%
n2 = efficiency of
pump 2 = 52%
At Q = 2000 gpm:
H1 = head provided by pump 1 = 75 ft
H2 = head provided by pump 2 = 125 ft
ni = efficiency of pump 1 = 60%
n2 = efficiency of pump 2 = 70%
Answer choices for Problem #2:
(A) 76%
(B) 56%
(C) 66%
(D) 36%
