, What is Net Engine/Pump Pressure (NEP)? - ANSWER -Net Pump Pressure
| | | | | | | | | |



| (NEP) is the measurement of the total work performed by the pump:
| | | | | | | | | | |



a. To lift water into the pump (drafting)
| | | | | |



b. To discharge water from the pump
| | | | |



NEP= Suction Side Work(drafting) + Discharge Side Work
| | | | | | |
