Question:
A pump is used to transport toluene at 10,000 kg/h from a feed tank (V-101) maintained at atmospheric pressure and 57°C. The pump is located 2 m below the liquid level in the tank, and there is 6 m of equivalent pipe length between the tank and the pump. It has been suggested that 1-in, schedule-40, commercial-steel pipe be used for the suction line. Determine whether this is a suitable choice. If not, suggest methods to avoid pump cavitation.
