Question:

The 36.75-in pump in Fig. 11.7a at 1170 r/min is used to pump water at 60°F from a reservoir through 1000 ft of 12-in-ID galvanized-iron pipe to a point 200 ft above the reservoir surface. What flow rate and brake horsepower will result? If there is 40 ft of pipe upstream of the pump, how far below the surface should the pump inlet be placed to avoid cavitation?
