Show complete solution and formulas used. Show the schematic diagram too. Calculate the required pipe diameter to avoid cavitation, if the pump delivers Q = 30US gallon/min water from a closed tank, where the pressure (above the water level) is p = 40kPa. The equivalent length of the smoothened concrete pipe on the suction side is 12m while the suction flange of the pump is 8m below the water level. The vapour pressure at the given water temperature is 2.8kPa. The required net positive suction head is NPSHr = 3.2m
