Question: Compute the net positive suction head available ( N P S H A ) for the following system: A 2 0 - in diameter pipeline

Compute the net positive suction head available (NPSHA) for the following system: A 20-in diameter pipeline runs from the suction tank to the pump is 81ft long and has a friction factor of 0.019. The suction reservoir has an elevation of 2,016 feet and the pump elevation is set at 2,009 feet. The design flow rate is 3,620gpm. Assume minor losses of one rounded entrance, and one 90-deg bend (cast/forged) and T=100F. Round your final answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
