5.9.6. A pump is tested by a manufacturer to establish the NPSH. At the onset of cavitation, the pump is positioned 10.2 ft above the supply reservoir. The suction line
is 10 ft long (f= 0.014) with a 1-ft diameter. Minor loss coefficients (Kminor) in the suction line is totaled as 3.5. If the pumping rate is 3000 gpm (gallons per minute),determine the NPSH. Assume the water temperature is 68°F (20°C). [13]
