3. A pump discharges 126 liters per second of brine (sp.gr.1.20). The pump inlet,
304.8 mm diameter, is at the same level as the outlet, 203.2 mm in diameter. At the
inlet, the vacuum is 152.4 mm Hg. The center of the pressure gauge connected to the
pump discharge flange is 122 cm. The gauge reads 138 KPag. For a pump efficiency of
83%, what is the power output of the motor?
122 cm.
