Question: Select a pump from the sample catalogue within the PIPE-FLO demo software to run a system that pumps water at 30C from a reservoir

Select a pump from the sample catalogue within the PIPE-FLO® demo software to run a system that pumps water at 30°C from a reservoir up into a storage tower, 20 m higher, at a rate of 1800 L/min. Position the pump at the same level as the reservoir. On the suction side, use 8 m of DN 100 Schedule 40 pipe and install an angle foot valve and two standard elbows. On the discharge line use 30 m of DN 80 pipe, a fully open globe valve, and four standard 90° elbows. In addition to identifying a pump for the job, also determine NPSHR, NPSHA, pump efficiency, pressure at the pump outlet, and total head on the pump as reported on the FLO-Sheet® in PUMP-FLO®.
