A pump at elevation (6.0 meters) lifts water from reservoir A
(elevation 0.0 meter) through a150-mm diameter pipe and discharges
it to reservoir B (elevation 73.0 meters) by means of a 100-mm
diameter pipe. The loss of head from A to the suction side (pt.1)
of the pump is 3 times the velocity head in the 150-mm diameter
pipe and the loss of head from the discharge side (pt.2) to B is 20
times the velocity head in the 100-mm diameter pipe. If Q=12
liters/sec. Compute the horsepower output of the pump.
