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.
Oil (y = 48lbf /ft°, p = 2 x 105 Ibf x s/ft2 and Pv = 1.9 PSI) is pumped into the system showing a speed of 4.6 ft/s. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSI. The manufacturer provides the following data for a centrifugal pump operating at its maximum efficiency point: rotational speed of 3000 RPM, flow rate of 0.17 ft/s, NPSH of 150 ft, and dimensionless specific velocity of 0.48. Determine if the pump described has the necessary head to be installed in the system shown (ɛ/D = 0.001) when a 1750 RPM motor is available to drive it. Neglect larger losses after the pump.
