10. your final an A hydrocarbon mixture is being pumped from a tank at atmospheric pressure (101.3 x 103 Pa) to a distillation tower. The density of the feed is 750 kg/m³, and its vapor pressure is 58.3 x 103 Pa. The velocity in the inlet line to the pump is 1 m/s and the friction loss between the tank and pump is 1 m of fluid. The net positive suction head required is 2 m. How far below the liquid level in the tank must the pump be to obtain this required (NPSH)R?
