Transcribed Image Text:

A centrifugal pump draws benzene with a specific gravity of 0.875 at 25°C from an open storage tank. The benzene level in the open tank is 3 m below the pump inlet as shown in Figure 10 below. The head loss in the suction piping due to friction and minor losses is 4 J/Kg. The vapor pressure of benzene is 13.5 kPa. Calculate the available net positive suction head (NPSH).
