Solve the following:
Q: The pump in Fig draws gasoline at 20°C from a reservoir. Pumps are in big trouble if the liquid vaporizes (cavitates) before it enters the pump.
(a) Neglecting losses and assuming a flow rate of 65 gal/min, find the limitations on (x, y, z) for avoiding cavitation.
(b) If pipe friction losses are included, what additional limitations might be important?
