Determine the speed of the single-acting reciprocating pump, if an air vessel is fitted on the suction side 2.5 m above the sump water level. A pump is having diameter and stroke of 300 mm, 500 mm respectively and takes its supply of water from sump 3.5 m below the pump axis through a pipe 9.3 m long and 200 mm diameter. If separation occurs at 2.5 m of water absolute, consider atmospheric pressure head = 10.3 m of water and friction co-efficient, f=0.01
