A centrifugal pump is used to pump water at 50oC from a reservoir. Pressure at
the reservoir surface is atmospheric pressure. Estimate NPSH available in
metres of water column if suction lift is 3 m, suction line pressure drop is 1 m
and vapour pressure of water at 50oC is 0.5 m of water. If NPSH requirement,
as given by the manufacturer, is 4 m, state whether this pump is suitable for the
situation. Give reason for your answer
