Question: PROBLEM 2 ( 2 5 points ) Water at ) u = ( 1 . 3 0 7 1 0 - 5 m 2 s

PROBLEM 2(25 points)
Water at )
u=(1.30710-5m2s is pumped from a lake, as illustrated below. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 1.228 kPa . The flow rate through the pipe is 11Ls. Your task is to determine the maximum allowable length of the pipe section between the lake and the pump (downstream of the pipe's entrance) to prevent cavitation in the pump. The entrance loss coefficient for the pipe is 0.80.
HINT: The pressure at the lake's surface equals atmospheric pressure (101 kPa ), as the hydraulic design requires calculating the maximum pipe length that avoids cavitation within the pump.
