The performance data for a centrifugal water pump are shown in Table P1431E for water at 77F (gpm = gallons

Question:

The performance data for a centrifugal water pump are shown in Table P14–31E for water at 77°F (gpm = gallons per minute). 

(a) For each row of data, calculate the pump efficiency (percent). Show all units and unit conversions for full credit. 

(b) Estimate the volume flow rate (gpm) and net head (ft) at the BEP of the pump.
