Calculations

Eq. 5 NPSHA = PB - (Vp + LS + hf)

NPSHR (from
= pump mftr data) 26.2 ft

where

NPSHA = Net Positive Suction Head available

NPSHR = Net Positive Suction Head required

PB = Barometric pressure, in feet absolute. 33.957 ft

Vp = Vapor pressure of the liquid at maximum 2.19 ft

pumping temperature, in feet absolute. 0.9492 psia @ 100 F

LS = Maximum static suction lift in feet. -14.6 ft

hf = Friction loss in feet in suction pipe at 0.08 ft

Pump Speed

Suction Specific Speed

Eq. 6

where

S= Suction specific speed

N= Pump speed, RPM

GPM = Pump flow at best efficiency point at

impeller inlet

NPSHR = Net Positive Suction Head required

Calculations

S= 9000 per Ref. d, "a reasonable value

of suction specific speed … readily
available"

GPM = 72,277 gpm

NPSHR = 26.2 ft
