Question:

A pump is installed in a 250-m pipeline to raise 20°C water 55 m from a supply reservoir to an elevated tank. The pipe is ro1,1gh concrete with a diameter of 80 cm, and the design discharge is 2.1 9 m3 / s . The pump is placed outside the supply reservoir (0. 9 m below the water surface in the tank) and has a cavitation parameter of 0.15. Determine the maximum distance in meters that the pump could be installed away from the supply reservoir (i.e., the allowable length of the suction line) without encountering cavitation problems. The only minor loss coefficient on the suction line is an entrance loss of 0.5
