The pump centerline is located2.6 m above the surface of the water at high tide. The pump discharges into theatmospheric surface condenser, 3 m above the pump centerline.

A centrifugal pump is to be placed above a large, open water tank, as shown in the figure below. Water is pumped at a rate of I cu ft/s. At this flow rate the required net positive suction head, NPSHR, is 15 ft as specified by the pump manufacturer. The water temperature is 80°F and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. Assume that the major head loss between the tank and the pump inlet is due to filter at the pipe inlet having a minor loss coefficient KL.-20. Other losses can be neglected. The pipe on the suction side of the pump has a diameter of 5 in. The water vapor pressure at 80°F is 0.5069 psia and y-62.22 lb/cu.ft. Determine Z1 for cavitation not to occur..

- Cavitation is an undesirable phenomenon that occurs in pumping systems. About cavitation incentrifugal pumps, analyze the following statements:I. The cavitation in centrifugal pumps depends only on the flow rate of the flowing fluid.II. The required NPSH must always be higher than available in order to avoid cavitation.III. The available NPSH (d) is related to the suction head and suction head losses. This onemust be greater than the required NPSH(r) (or NPSH(a)), which is related to the equipment.IV. The larger the suction pipe, the less chance of cavitation occurring.It is correct what is stated in:ALTERNATIVESa) I, just.b) III, only.c) III and IV only.d) I, II and III only.e) I, II and IV only.arrow_forwardA piston pump operating at 1,150 rpm and 3000 Ibf/in2 delivers fluid at 10 gal/min.
