• For finding the maximum suction lift, the pressure at the inlet of the
pump should not be less than the vapor pressure of the liquid. Hence
for the limiting case, taking the pressure at the inlet of pump equal to
vapour pressure of the liquid, we get P1 = Pv where Pv = vapour
pressure of the liquid in absolute units. Now the equation (ii) becomes
as
