For the pump described in Problem, compute the water horsepower. Assuming that the pump efficiency is 75 percent, what horsepower must the motor deliver to drive the pump?

Problem

A centrifugal pump with the following characteristics is installed in a system to raise water from one reservoir to another. The water surface elevation in the first reservoir is 500 ft and in the second reservoir is 650 ft above mean sea level. The pipeline connecting the reservoirs includes 2 mi of 10-in.-diameter pipe.
