If a pump requires a minimum of 2.75m of NPSH, how high (absolute value in meters) can the centerline of the pump be located above the top of an open tank that supplies a 27°C-water to the pump? The water tank is 1.83m high which is filled to the brim, and the total pipe friction is 0.70m.
2. A pump draws water from a lake delivered to a height of 50 meters above the lake and encounters 15 meters of headloss. Determine the pump power requirement in Kilo-Watts to deliver a constant supply of 500 Liters per second? The correct answer has a margin of 1 from exact answer. Velocity head is neglected.
The plunger diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 115 mm and the stroke is 230 mm. The suction pipe is 90 mm in diameter and 4.2 m long. If cavitation takes place at the suction head of 4 m, the barometer stands at 10.3 m of water, and the water level in the sump is 3 m below the pump cylinder axis.1.

There are three main categories of dynamic pumps. List and define them.
Centrifugal pump is a kinetic device and uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid. So the liquid entering the pump receives kinetic energy from the rotating impeller. The centrifugal action of the impeller accelerates the liquid to a high velocity, transferring mechanical (rotational) energy to the liquid. What makes Centrifugal Pump not to beclassified as a Positive Displacement Type of Pump? Is that the reason why cavitation will occur in centrifugal pumps and not in Displacement pump?
