Question:

A pump delivers 30°C water from a supply reservoir to an elevated tank at a rate of 120 liters per second. The elevation difference between the reservoirs is 45 m, and the supply line is 150 rn long (ductile-iron pipe) and 35 cm in diameter. The suction line is I 0 m of the 150 rn length. Minor loss coefficients in the suction line total 3.7. If the pump is installed I m to 3 m above the supply reservoir (depending on fluctuations in the water level), will the installation be susceptible to cavitation? The net positive suction head of the pump is rated at 6 m.
