Determine the specific speed ad brake horsepower

Reference no: EM13312188

The 35-in pump of fig. 11.7b is used to pump 24000 GPM of water (68ft) at 710 rpm from a large tank whose surface is at atmospheric presure. the head loss from tank to the pump inlet is 3ft. calculate:

a) the maximum height where the pump should be located above the tank to avoid captivation and,

b) the specific speed ad brake horsepower
