Based on Schedule 40 pipe dimension, the pipe size to be chosen is 1.25 in nominal size.
Taking the type of the pipe used as commercial steel pipe, the roughness, Ɛ is 0.046 mm.
Thus the relative roughness is
Ɛ/D = (0.046) / (0.04 x 1000) = 0.0013
Therefore based on the Moody diagram, the friction factor is 0.02
Thus the friction loss in pipe is
8fL v2 8(0.02)(14) (0.45)2
hf = = = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟑 𝐦
D 2g 0.04 2(9.81)
3×105 −1×105
= ((941.81)(9.81)) + (10 − 0) + 0.83 = 𝟐𝟔. 𝟒𝟖 𝐦
Step 6: NPSHA
NPSHA only involves the suction side. Thus the length of pipe involved is only the suction side.
NPSHA is calculated with the following equation:
P1 −Pv
NPSHA = + z1 − hf1
ρg
1×105 −1×105
Thus, NPSHA = (941.81)(9.81) + 0 − 0.12 = 𝟕. 𝟎𝟏 m
For a pump to operate without cavitation, NPSHA > NPSHR. This requirement is checked for
the suitability of the pump. NPSHR is determined by using the following graph.
From the graph, volumetric flow rate of 1.58 m3/hr or equivalent to 6.95 gal/min gives
NPSHR of 5 ft or 1.52 m. Therefore, NPSHA > NPSHR. The pump is applicable.
