Question:

A pump draws water from a reservoir through a \(150-\mathrm{mm}-\) diameter suction pipe and delivers it to a \(75-\mathrm{mm}\)-diameter discharge pipe. The end of the suction pipe is \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) below the free surface of the reservoir. The pressure gage on the discharge pipe \((2 \mathrm{~m}\) above the reservoir surface) reads \(170 \mathrm{kPa}\). The average speed in the discharge pipe is \(3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the pump efficiency is 75 percent, determine the power required to drive it.
