Steam condensate at 1 atm and 958C (Pv = 526 mmHg) is returned to a boiler from the condenser by a centrifugal boiler feed pump. The flow rate is 100 gpm through a 2.5 in. sch 40 pipe. If the equivalent length of the pipe between the condenser and the pump is 50 ft, and the pump has an NPSH of 6 ft, what is the maximum height above the condenser that the pump can be located?
