Question:

Naphthalene is fed to a phthalic anhydride production process. The feed is available at \(208^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(79 \mathrm{kPa}\). The flowrate is \(18,500 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{h}\) in 1. 5 -in schedule- 40 pipe. A pump with NPSH characteristics as plotted in Figure 21. 9 is used. Will this pump be suitable for the desired duty? If not, what modifications would be necessary in order to use the existing pump? Be quantitative.
