Question: How to solve In a fluid pumping system, fluid with relative density 0 . 7 8 and saturation vapour pressure 1 2 . 5 kPa

How to solve
In a fluid pumping system, fluid with relative density 0.78 and saturation vapour pressure 12.5 kPa (abs.) is pumped from one tank to another. The following data apply:
\table[[,Suction side,Discharge side],[Tank pressure (kPa (g)),0(atm),30],[Static lift (m),2.5,7.8],[??K(including entrance or exit),8.5,28.2],[Pipe diameter (mm),150,150],[Pipe length (m),4.5,34],[Friction factor (assumed constant),0.018,0.018]]
The system head equation is of the form:
H=A+CV?2(Hinm and VinLs)
(a) Determine the value of the factor C for the suction side only.
(b) Determine the value of the factor C for the discharge side only.
(c) Write the system head equation for the whole system.
(d) Complete the following table:
\table[[Flow rate (L/s),0,10,20,30,40,50],[System head (m),,,,,,]]
(e) Determine the maximum flow rate to avoid cavitation if the NPSHR is 2.0 m .
(a)1.476
10-3
(b)5.269
10-3
(c)H=14.22+6.74410-3V?2
(d)
\table[[Flow rate (L/s),0,10,20,30,40,50],[System head (m),14.2,14.9,16.9,20.3,25.0,31.1]]
(e)69.4Ls
