The fluid is water at 80C and the atmospheric pressure is 101.8 kPa. The water level in the tank is 2 m below the inlet to the pump. The vertical part of the suction pipe is made of 3 in. schedule 40 steel. The horizontal part of the suction pipe is made of 2 in. schedule 40 steel and is 1.5 m long. The elbow is 90. The reduction is placed after the elbow. The foot valve is of the hinged disc type. The flow is 300 L/min
