A horizontal shaft centrifugal pump lifts water at 65°C. The suction nozzle is one meter below pump centerline. The pressure at this point equal 200 kPa gauge and velocity is 3 m/s. Steam tables show saturation pressure at 65°C is 25 kPa, and specific volume of the saturated liquid is 0.001020 m3 / kg. The pump Net Positive suction Head (NPSH) in meters is:
