Water is handled by a system of pipes as shown in Figure 7.36, and the pipe characteristics are as follows:

The elevation of outlets E, F, and G is 100 m above the elevation of inlets A and B. All outlets and inlets are at atmospheric pressure. If the mean velocity in the pipes AC and BC is 2.5 m/s, calculate the flow rate through the pump P, the pressure difference across the pump, and the power consumed by the pump. Assume that the pump efficiency is 76%.
