The value of (NPSH)min for a pump is given by the manufacturer as 10ft. Water is being pumped from a reservoir at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 30 ft/s to a tank at atmospheric pressure. The water level in the reservoir is 5 ft below the pump. If the total head loss in the suction pipe is 5ft, is the pump safe from cavitation effects ?

b) If a 2-in schedule 40 pipe of 150m length was used downstream of the pump, what is the power delivered to the fluid? you may assume that the friction factor in the pipe is equal to 0.004
