A centrifugal pump operating at sea level develops 150 ft of head at 1,200 rpm. It is used to pump water at 60°F. Head loss due to pipe fraction is 5 ft. If the critical cavitation parameter is 01, what is the maximum elevation in feet that the pump can have relative to the water level at the source to be safe from cavitation?
