NPSHa(req'd) NPSHa(r) = NPSHa - Vs2/2g
Closed Tank: NPSHa(abs) = Ps + Patm - Ls - Hfs - Hi + Vs2/2g - Pvap [where Pvap = Vapour Pressure(abs)] Provide this to pump vendor and use on pump curves
Open Tank: or = Pamb - Ls - Hfs - Hi + Vs2/2g - Pvap [NPSHa should exceed NPSHr by at least 0.5 m] where velocity head is included in vendors pump curves.
