Question:

A pump installed at an elevation of l0 ft delivers 8 cfs of water (68°F) through a horizontal pipe system to a pressurized tank. The water surface elevation in the receiving tank is 20 ft, and the pressure at the top of the tank is 32. 3psi. The ductile iron pipe has a 15-in. diameter on the suction side of the pump and al 2-in.-diameter (and 130 ft length) on the discharge side of the pump. If the pump deliven; 11 1 ft of bead, what is the pressure head on the discharge side of the pump (in psi)? Is cavitation a concern on the suction side of the pump? Sketch the system and draw the HGL and EGL.
