Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill through a 90cm diameter pipe, and a pressure of 200kPa is maintained at the summit, where the pipe is 90m above the reservoir. The flow is 1.40cu.m./s and the headloss of 3.0J/N between the reservoir and the summit. If the pump is 90% efficient, what is the input power furnished to the water?

It is proposed to build a three- stage centrifugal pump to deliver 4000 kg/min of water at a speed of 900 rpm under a total manometric head of 70 m. The vanes are to be radial at inlet and are to be curved backwards at exit at an angle of 45°. Assuming manometric efficiency of 84% and overall efficiency of 75% and considering that vane thickness accounts for 8% of circumferential area. The velocity of flow may be assumed constant at 2.5 m/sec. The h.p. input necessary is ؟
