(a) The faster the flow through the pump. the more likely that cavitation will occur.
(b) As water temperature increases. NPSHrequired also increases.
(c) As water temperature increases, the available NPSH also increases.
(d) As water temperature increases, cavitation is less likely to occur.

A 30 cm diameter pipe, conveying water, branches into two pipes of diameters20 cm and 15 cmrespectively. If the average velocity in the 30 cm diameter pipe is 2.5 m/s, find the discharge inthis pipe (m3/s). Also determine the velocity (m/s) in 15 cm pipe if the average velocity in 20cm diameter pipe is 2 m/s.
