[Answer A to D and I will thumbs up] Please don't waste my question
Determine the specifications for the pump to transport water at 70C from one tank to another at a rate of 210 gal/min. The pressure in the upstream tank is 1 atm, and the water level in the tank is 5 ft above the level of the pump. The pressure in the downstream tank is 10 psig, and the water level in this tank is 40 ft above the pump. The suction line contains 40 ft of 2 in Schedule 40 with three standard elbows and 2 gate valves, while the discharge line contains 190 ft of 2 in Sch 40 with seven standard elbows and 4 gate valves.
(a) Determine the total discharge head
(b) Calculate the TDH and brake horsepower if efficiency 85%.
(c) Calculate the available NPSH
(d) If the water temperature is raised, the vapor pressure will increase accordingly. Determine the maximum water temperature that can be tolerated before the pump will start to cavitate.
