Question

The diameter of the discharge pipe of a boiler feed pump is 4 inches and the

suction pipe is 6 inches. The water delivered is 250 gpm and the temperature

is 60 ºF. The discharge pressure near the pump is 190 psig and the suction is 12

inches Hg vacuum.

Determine the following:

a) Discharge velocity in ft/sec. b) Suction velocity in ft/sec. c) Suction

pressure in psi. d) Find the total dynamic head if the discharge gage is located

3 ft above pump centerline and vacuum gage connection to the suction pipe is

2 ft below the center of the pump. Assume that the head necessary to

overcome the frictional resistance through the pump is 2.2 ft.
