For a centrifugal pump, the net positive suction head (NPSH) is defined as:
- 1NPSH = (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure head of the liquid) at suction✓
- 2NPSH = (velocity head + pressure head) at discharge
- 3NPSH = (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure head of the liquid) at discharge
- 4NPSH = (velocity head + pressure head) at suction
Correct answer
NPSH = (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure head of the liquid) at suction
