A pump is installed with a suction pipe of 200mm and a delivery pipe of 150mm (λ=0.02) in diameter to pump 0.08m3/s. The delivery pipe is 280m long. The elevation difference between the supply reservoir and the receiving reservoir is 20m. The cavitation parameter σ is 0.12 and the installation suffers a loss of 1.4m loss in the suction side. Determine the allowable height between the pump intake and the water surface elevation in the supply tank. The atmospheric pressure is 101.35kPa and the vapor pressure is 1.79kPa.
