Pump delivers 0.05 m/s flow of 40°C water, and the intake pipe L = 4m & D = 20 cm. The pump intake is located 10 m above the water surface level in the reservoir. How much lowering of the pump elevation will avoid the cavitation. Given: f = 0.018, K̟ = 0.1, K, = 0.2 10 m Pan = 101.3 kPa abs 740x 40c = 9.732 kN/m³ = 7.38 kPa abs Prap at 40°C = 7.38-101.3 = -93.92 kPa gage O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 7.44 m O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 9.65 m O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 0.56 m O None of the answers are correct.
