Problem 3. A pump is installed in a 250-m-long pipeline to raise water (v = 1 x 10-6 m²/s) 55 m from a reservoir to an elevated tank. The pipe is ductile iron with a diameter of 80 cm and a flow rate of 2.19 m³/s. The pump is placed outside the supply reservoir with a centerline elevation of 1.5 m below the reservoir water surface. Determine the maximum distance, Lmax, in meters that the pump could be installed away from the supply reservoir (the allowable length of the suction line) without encountering cavitation problems. The required net-positive suction head is NPSH = 4.75 m and the water is at 30° C. Total minor losses for the entire pipeline are 17.8 times the velocity head, including exit loss. Minor losses in the suction line are 5.0 times the velocity head. Use an atmospheric pressure of 101.0 kPa. Lmax 1.50 m 80 cm diameter P

Problem 3. A pump is installed in a 250-m-long pipeline to raise water (v = 1 x 10-6 m²/s)
55 m from a reservoir to an elevated tank. The pipe is ductile iron with a diameter of 80
cm and a flow rate of 2.19 m³/s. The pump is placed outside the supply reservoir with a
centerline elevation of 1.5 m below the reservoir water surface. Determine the maximum
distance, Lmax, in meters that the pump could be installed away from the supply reservoir
(the allowable length of the suction line) without encountering cavitation problems. The
required net-positive suction head is NPSH = 4.75 m and the water is at 30° C.
Total minor losses for the entire pipeline are 17.8 times the velocity head, including exit loss.
Minor losses in the suction line are 5.0 times the velocity head. Use an atmospheric pressure
of 101.0 kPa.
