Evaluate the mechanical efficiency of pump


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: A water pump delivers 3 hp of shaft power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the pump is measured to be 1.2 psi when the flow rate is 8 ft3/s and the changes in velocity and elevation are negligible, determine the mechanical efficiency of this pump.
