what is npsh and how to calculate it for a centrifugal pump

Answer Posted / jimmy jacob

The definition of NPSHa is very simple. We can calculate
NPSH all we have to do is to take the sum of the static
head plus the surface pressure head and then subtract it
from the vapor pressure of the product (whatever) along
with the frictional losses in the piping, valves & fittings

Assume a DC motor with the following parameters : Motor torque control = 0.0848 Nm/amperes Back EMF control = 0.0848 Volts/(rad/s) Armature resistance = 0.75  Moment of inertia = 0.00001696 kg/m2 With zero frictional load and taking a feed forward gain of 2, determine the motor response for a unit step function. please forwaded the answer to the below mail id thanks in advance Regrads, peer_kaba@yahoo.co.in
