Question:
Steam condensate at $1 \mathrm{~atm}$ and $95^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(P_{\mathrm{v}}=526 \mathrm{mmHg}\right)$ is returned to a boiler from the condenser by a centrifugal boiler feed pump. The flow rate is $100 \mathrm{gpm}$ through a $2.5 \mathrm{in}$. sch 40 pipe. If the equivalent length of the pipe between the condenser and the pump is $50 \mathrm{ft}$, and the pump has an NPSH of $6 \mathrm{ft}$, what is the maximum height above the condenser that the pump can be located?
