4- A centrifugal pump was tested for cavitation initiation. Total head was 40 m and flow rate were 0.06 m/s. Cavitation started when the total head at the suction side was 3 m. The atmospheric pressure was 760 mm Hg and the vapor pressure at this temperature was 2 kPa. It was proposed to install the pump where the atmospheric pressure is 700 mm Hg and the vapor pressure at the location temperature is 1 kPa. If the pump develops the same total head and flow, can the pump be fixed as the same height as the lab setup? What should be the new height.

Show complete solution and formulas used. Show the schematic diagram too. Calculate the required pipe diameter to avoid cavitation, if the pump delivers Q = 30US gallon/min water from a closed tank, where the pressure (above the water level) is p = 40kPa. The equivalent length of the smoothened concrete pipe on the suction side is 12m while the suction flange of the pump is 8m below the water level. The vapour pressure at the given water temperature is 2.8kPa. The required net positive suction head is NPSHr = 3.2m.
