Answer / m.elangovan
NPSH = Hp + HZ – Hvp – Hf
Hp = Absolute pressure at surface of liquid
in ft
Hz = Height in ft of liquid above or below
centerline of pump.
Hvp = Vapor pressure head of liquid in ft.
Hf = Friction loss head between surface of
liquid & pump
suction pipeline in ft.
NPSH = Net Positive Suction Head in ft.
NPSHa = NPSH available + of the system.
NPSHr = NPSH required + by pump manufacturer.
NPSHa > NPSHr
As good engineering practice provide NPSHa-NPSHr = 1.5
m of liquid.

Answer / lokesh singh
above answer is quite good but ,Hvp is vapor pressure of
pumping fluid at the fluid temperature in the suction line.
secondly Hf is the friction losses from the outlet of the
suction side liquid holding tank to the eye of the pump
impeller.

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE - EXAMPLE 2.5 : In a non-dilute absorber, the inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % carbon dioxide in nitrogen. By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry's Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.13 (CORRECTION) : (i) In the Present Value Multiplication Rule, let PV = present value, Ra = interest rate for first discount, A = duration for first discount; Rc = interest rate for second discount, C = duration for second discount. Let PV = [ 1 / (1 + Ra) ^ A ] [ 1 / (1 + Rc) ^ C ] where ^ is the symbol of power : 3 ^ 2 = 3 x 3, 2 ^ 3 = 2 x 2 x 2. (a) For discounts involving 8 % / year for 3 years and 10 % / year for 9 years, find the value of PV. (b) If Re = interest rate for third discount, E = duration of third discount, form a mathematical equation of PV as a function of A, C, E, Ra, Rc, Re. Note : Discounts are available in the purchase of certain biochemical engineering instruments. (ii) Let R = nominal interest rate related to growth rate of money, r = real interest rate related to growth rate of purchase power. If I = inflation, where the unit of R, r and I is %, find the mathematical relationship of r as a function of R and I.
