The performance characteristics of a certain centrifugal pump are determined from anexperimental setup shown in the figure. When the flow rate of a liquid (SG= 0.9) through thepump is 120 gpm, the pressure gage at (1) indicates a vacuum of 95 mm of mercury and thepressure gage at (2) indicates a pressure of 80 kPa.

3. 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..
