100%
A pump draws water from reservoir A and lifts it to reservoir B. The loss of head from A to section 1 is 3 times the velocity head in the 15 cm pipe and the loss of head from section 2 to B is 20 times the velocity head in the 10 cm pipe. Compute the power input of the pump assuming it operates at 80 percent efficiency. The discharge in the system is 15 L/s. NEED ANSWER ASAP
