A centrifugal pump has a 100 mm diameter suction pipe and a 75 mm diameter delivery pipe. When discharging 15 l/s of water, the inlet water mercury manometer with one limb exposed to the atmosphere recorded a vacuum deflection of 198 mm; the mercury level on the suction side was 100 mm below the pipe centerline. The delivery pressure gauge, 200 mm above the pump inlet, recorded a pressure of 0.95 bar. The measured in put power was 3.2 kW. Calculate the pump efficiency
