Overall efficiency of a centrifugal pump is the ratio of
Energy available at the impeller to the energy supplied to the pump by the prime mover
Actual work done by the pump to the energy supplied to the pump by the prime mover
Energy supplied to the pump to the energy available at the impeller
Manometric head to the energy supplied by the impeller per Newton of water
