Question

A pumping system is designed to pump from a storage reservoir located at an elevation of 1015 feet. The pump elevation is 1005 feet. The pump discharge flow rate is 4500 gal/min and the water temperature is 100˚ F. Between the storage tank and the pump is 30 feet of 14-in DIP pipe (f = 0.018) with one (1) rounded entrance (kent = 0.05), and two (2) 45 -degree bends (k45 = 0.30). What is the NPSHA for this system? Round your answer to the nearest whole foot.
