A pump draws propane at 45C (sg = 0.48) from a tank whose level is 1.84 m

Question:

A pump draws propane at 45°C (sg = 0.48) from a tank whose level is 1.84 m below the pump inlet. The energy losses in the suction line total 0.92 m and the atmospheric pressure is 98.4 kPa absolute. Determine the required pressure above the propane in the tank to ensure that the NPSHA is at least 1.50 m.
