Question:

Factory tests indicated that a cavitation parameter for a particular pump is u = 0 .075. The pump is installed to pump 60°C water at sea level. If the total head loss between the inlet and the suction side of the pump is 0.5 m, determine the allowable level of the pump intake relative to the supply reservoir water surface elevation if cavitation is to be avoided. The discharge is 0.04 m3 / sec, and the pipe system is the one used in Example 5.8.
