The liquid being lifted by the pump below is gasoline with specific weight γgasoline = 47 lb/ft3 and a vapor pressure of 9 psi (absolute). The local atmospheric pressure is patm = 12.5 psi (absolute). The friction head loss through the pipe from its entrance to the pump entrance at B is hf = V 2 /(2g) empirically, where the velocity in the pipe is V = 7 ft/s. What is the maximum allowed value of z without cavitation occurring at the pump entrance at B?
