Question:
A pump that is taking water at $50^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ from an open tank at a rate of $500 \mathrm{gpm}$ is located directly over the tank. The suction line entering the pump is a nominal 6 in. sch 40 straight pipe $10 \mathrm{ft}$ long and extends $6 \mathrm{ft}$ below the surface of the water in the tank. If friction in the suction line is neglected, what is the pressure at the pump inlet (in psi)?
