1.2 A pump, delivers 320 lps of oil (SG = 0.88), has a 400-mm diameter suction pipe and a 14-inch diameter discharge pipe. The suction vacuum gauge located 10 inches below the pump centerline reads 125 mm Hg. The discharge gauge, which is 20 inches above the pump centerline, reads 12 psi. Determine the pump power if the pump efficiency is 79 %.
