Problem 2
The inlet line of a pump is 4-nominal schedule 40
PVC pipe that is 30 ft long and includes one elbow
and one well-rounded inlet. The pump conveys 0.5
ft3/s of water at 60°F from a tank. The net positive
suction head required by the pump is 8 ft.
Determine where the location of the water level in
the tank should be with respect to the pump impeller
shaft to prevent cavitation.
The figure shows a portion of a fire protection system in which a pump draws water at 60°F(v=1.21 x10-5 m² from a reservoir and delivers it to a point B at the flow rate of 1500 gal/min. Calculate the required height of the the water level in the tank in order to maintain 5.0 Psig pressure at point A
The value of (NPSH) for a pump is given by the manufacturer as 10 ft. Water is being pumped from a reservoir at
min
atmospheric pressure at a rate of 30 ft /s to a tank at atmospheric pressure. The water level in the reservoir is 5 ft below the
pump. If the total head loss in the suction pipe is 5 ft, is the pump safe from cavitation effects?
If a 2-in schedule 40 pipe of 150 m length was used downstream of the pump, what is the power delivered to the fluid? You
may assume that the friction factor in the pipe is equal to 0.004.
