A pump can lift water at a discharge of 0.2 m'/sc to a head of 30 m. The
critical cavitation number (o.) for the pump is found to be 0. 144. The
pump is to be installed at a location where barometric pressure is 10 m of
water and the vapour pressure of water is
0.3 m of water. The intake
pipe friction loss is 04 m. Using the minimum value of NPSH (Net
Positive Section Head), The maximum allowable elevation above the
sump water surface at which the pump can be located is
