5 The suction side of a pipe system is as shown in Fig. P15.55. The pump discharges 495 gpm of water under a total head of 100 ft at 40°F. Atmospheric pressure 32.7 ft of water. Deter- mine the (a) available NPSH, and (b) cavitation parameter. If the required NPSH is 9, will there be a cavitation problem? Figure P15.55
