1. Assume a horizontal shaft handling water at 65 deg C (Pv=2.503 KPa, Density=980.5 m3/kg). The suction nozzle is 4.35 m below the pump centerline and the pressure gauge reading at this point is 221Kpag. Determine the NPSHa if the head loss is 0.82 m. If the NPSHr is 3m less than the NPSHa you got on question number 1, determine the pump suction specific speed at pump rotating at 1800rpm and Q=500gpm

1. Assume a horizontal shaft handling water at 65 deg C (Pv=2.503 KPa, Density=980.5 m3/kg). The suction nozzle is 4.35 m below the pump centerline and the pressure gauge reading at this point is 221Kpag. Determine the NPSHa if the head loss is 0.82 m.

If the NPSHr is 3m less than the NPSHa you got on question number 1, determine the pump suction specific speed at pump rotating at 1800rpm and Q=500gpm
