28A) A cooling water pump is operating with pump suction parameters as follows:


Suction Temperature = 124F Suction Pressure = 11.7 psia


What is the approximate available net positive suction head (NPSH) for the pump? (Neglect the contribution of the suction fluid velocity to NPSH.)






28B) A centrifugal pump is operating at maximum design flow rate, taking suction on a vented water storage tank and discharging through two parallel valves. Valve A is fully open and valve B is half open.
