Question: b ) A centrifugal pump has a 2 0 0 m m diameter suction pipe and a 1 5 0 m m diameter delivery pipe.

b) A centrifugal pump has a 200mm diameter suction pipe and a 150mm diameter delivery pipe. When discharging 30ls of water, the inlet water mercury manometer with one limb exposed to the atmosphere recorded a vacuum deflection of 198mm; the mercury level on the suction side was 120mm below the pipe centreline. The delivery pressure gauge, 220mm above the pump inlet, recorded a pressure of 0.95bar. The measured in put power was 3.2kW. Calculate the pump efficiency.
