reservoir as shown in the figure. The 24 mm diameter pipe has a friction factor, f= 0.022 and is
2.8 m long from the submerged pipe inlet to the pump inlet. The pumps (NPSH)R is provided by
(2.2+0.958v) meters, where "v" is the average fluid
velocity in the pipe in m/s. Find the maximum permissible value of "v" without causing cavitation.
