Given
Q=100L/s
Diameter = 29.1 cm
Flow = 600 gpm of benzene 60°F

2 P2 = 16.1 psia

Data for benzene: 5f


3
PVap = 7.74 psia P3 = 16 psia
r = 50.1 lbm /f3
µ = 0.70 c

150 f

P1 = 16 psia globe valve (open)

5f
L = 300 f, 5 inch Sch40

Use Goulds 3x4-10


L = 5 f, 6 inch Sch40 @3560 RPM

Find NPSHA. Using the NPSH from the Pump in Problem 1, will
cavitation take place?
