State your assumption clearly
(Q1) Consider the pump system given below (Figure 1).
(i) Plot the system curve on the pump characteristic (given in Figure 2). Determine the impeller size, operating point, pump efficiency and the power required to drive the pump.
(ii) Show whether the pump is subjected to cavitation? If yes, give recommendations. (physical properties of water; density 997kgm3, viscosity 0.87110-3Pa.s,Pv=3.17kPa.).
