Question

Transcribed Image Text:Water enters the pump of a steam power plant at 20 kPa and 50 °C (p = 988 kg/m², &
Pr = 12.352 kPa) at a rate of 0.15 m'/s. The diameter of the pipe at the pump inlet is
0.20 m. What is the net positive suction head (NPSH) at the pump inlet?

Transcribed Image Text:Three pumps are connected in series. According to pump performance curves, the free
delivery of each pump is as follows:
Pump 1: 1600 L/min,
If the flow rate for this pump system is 2400 L/min, which pump(s) should be shut off?
Pump 2: 2200 L/min,
Pump 3: 2800 L/min
