8.173 A pump draws water at a steady flow rate of through a piping system. The pressure on the suction side of the pump is −2.5 psig. The pump outlet pressure is 50 psig. The inlet pipe diameter is 3 in.; the outlet pipe diameter is 2in. The pump efficiency is 70 percent. Calculate the power required to drive the pump.
