A pump delivers water at 200C between a reservoir and a water tank that is 75[ft] higher than the reservoir. The suction side of the system consists of a cast iron pipe of 1[ft]diameter with a strainer (Ks= 2.5) and four 90-degree bends at R/D= 5. The discharge side of the system includes a 1000[ft] long commercial steel pipe with 12” diameter followed by a gate valve. The NPSH required for the pump is 10[ft], and the design discharge is 10[cfs]. Assume the strainer coefficient includes the entrance loss coefficient. Determine the maximum allowable length of the pipe on the suction side of the system if the pump is to be located at 5[ft] above the reservoir water surface.

1 A pump delivers water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir at a rate of 60 L/s. Both the suction and discharge pipes are DN 150 schedule 40steel pipe. The length of the suction pipe leading to the pump is 3.5 m, and 7 m of discharge pipe extend from the pump outlet to the upper tank. There are three standard 900 elbows and a fully open gate valve. The depth of the fluid level inside the lower...
Problem 4 The pumping system shown in the figure below to deliver 3 cfs of 60°F water. The total elevation difference between is 84 ft. The suction line is a 6-inch diameter, 300-ft long cast-iron pipe. The discharge line is 6-inch diameter in an 860-ft long plastic pipe. The suction inlet for the pump is 20 ft above the reservoir. The atmospheric pressure is 14.70 psia. The required NPSH is 7.0 ft. Minor losses include entrance: k, = 0.5, open...
You need to pump water at 20 C from an open reservoir at flow rate of 1.4 x 10^-3 m3/s through a pipe with an inside diameter of 0.03m, using a centrifugal pump having an (NPSH)aq =2.5 m and the equivalent length on the suction side is 3m. There are several minor losses: four standar 90 flanged elbows, and fully open flanged globe valve, fully open flanged gate valve, and the Entrance. What is the the maximum distance above the...
A pumping system is designed to pump from a storage reservoir located at an elevation of 1015 feet. The pump elevation is 1005 feet. The pump discharge flowrate is 4500 gpm and the water temperature is 100˚F (1 atm). Between the storage tank and the pump is 30 feet of 14-in DIP pipe (f = 0.018) with one rounded entrance (kent = 0.05), and two 45 -degree bends (k45 = 0.30). What is the NPSH (in ft) for this system?...
