The value of (NPSH)min for a pump is given by the manufacturer as 10 ft. Water is being pumped from a reservoir at 3 atmospheric pressure at a rate of 30 ft /s to a tank at atmospheric pressure. The water level in the reservoir is 5 ft below th pump. If the total head loss in the suction pipe is 5 ft, is the pump safe from cavitation effects?

Question
The value of (NPSH) for a pump is given by the manufacturer as 10 ft. Water is being pumped from a reservoir at min atmospheric pressure at a rate of 30 ft /s to a tank at atmospheric pressure. The water level in the reservoir is 5 ft below the pump. If the total head loss in the suction pipe is 5 ft, is the pump safe from cavitation effects? If a 2-in schedule 40 pipe of 150 m length was used downstream of the pump, what is the power delivered to the fluid? You may assume that the friction factor in the pipe is equal to 0.004.
