In a pumping system handling water, the level in the suction tank is 3m below the pump shaft centerline; and the level in the discharge tank is 21m above the pump shaft centerline. The inlet piping is 7.62cm in diameter and together with its valves fittings is equivalent to 26m straight pipe. The discharge line, 6.35 cm in diameter, with its valves and fittings is equivalent to 72 m straight pipe. If the motor delivers 7.1 kW to the pump shaft, what is the pump efficiency for discharge rate of 12.6 Ips? Assume f = 0.024

2. In a pumping system handling water, the level in the suction tank is 3m below the pump
shaft centerline; and the level in the discharge tank is 21m above the pump shaft
centerline. The inlet piping is 7.62cm in diameter and together with its valves fittings is
equivalent to 26m straight pipe. The discharge line, 6.35 cm in diameter, with its valves
and fittings is equivalent to 72 m straight pipe. If the motor delivers 7.1 kW to the pump
shaft, what is the pump efficiency for discharge rate of 12.6 Ips? Assume f = 0.024
