The pressure available to push liquid into the pump inlet, often referred to as the "suction pressure," typically ranges from atmospheric pressure to a few psi above atmospheric, depending on the system design and conditions. In many cases, a vacuum is created to assist in drawing the liquid into the pump. Additionally, the liquid's height above the pump inlet can contribute to the pressure available, known as static head. Proper system design ensures that this pressure is sufficient to avoid cavitation and ensure optimal pump performance.

What is the difference between back pressure steam turbine and condensate steam turbine?
In a back pressure turbine all available energy from the inlet steam is NOT used to generate power; steam exhausts at a tangible pressure and is then used for, usually, heating or chemical processing. In a condensing turbine, all the inlet steam does mechanical work right down to the lowest pressureafter which it is condensed in a heat exchanger
How do you calculate pressure ratio of compressor?
Inlet pressure/discharge pressure
What NPSH stands for and its meaning?
Net Positive Suction Head. It is the difference between hydraulic pressure and vapor pressure, usually of concern at the inlet of a pump. Without sufficienty high NPSH at a pump inlet, there will be cavitation in the pump. Within a centrifugal pump there can be pressures lower than at the inlet as the fluid is moved by the impeller. If any of those pressures is lower than the vapor pressure, vapor pockets- bubbles- form and you get cavitation. A more complete explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPSH
What is an inlet valve?
Inlet Valve is comprised of 2 words i.e. Inlet & Valve. Therefore Inlet Valve is that valve through which fuel or a mixture whose pressure in increased by reducing its volume in intaked into the cylinder.
Where is the inlet and outlet of your pressure tank?
A pressure tank for a pump & well potable water system only has one connection. To connect the pump and tank to your house's water inlet, simply connect the tank and pump together with pressure rated pipe, SCH 40 PVC works fine. In that line, cut in a TEE fitting, and from that T, connect the house inlet with a valve to shut the water off.
What is flash separation?
A flash separator consists of a vessel where the pressure is lower than the inlet stream. When the inlet stream enters the tank (which has a larger volume), the pressure may drop, as well as the temperature. When the pressure drops, the vapors dissolved in the liquid inlet will boil, "flash," into the vapor phase. Thus, the dissolved gases in the liquid are separated by "flashing" them.

If an evaporator has a pressure drop of10psig and the low side pressure is 15psig what is the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator?
To find the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator, you subtract the pressure drop from the low side pressure. Given a low side pressure of 15 psig and a pressure drop of 10 psig, the inlet pressure would be 15 psig - 10 psig = 5 psig. Therefore, the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator is 5 psig.
How do you calculate pressure ratio of compressor?
Inlet pressure/discharge pressure
What makes a Compressor on and off all the time?
Hi the compressor has a device usually a pressure switch that on off loads the head inlet compression valve system. With a screw compressor it is usually a diaphragm operating a piston that open and closes the inlet to the element

For the same size of pipe when mass flow rate is also same what will happen to the pressure drop if change in inlet pressure takes place?
If you change the inlet pressure, you outlet pressure will also change dramatically.
What is an inlet valve?
Inlet Valve is comprised of 2 words i.e. Inlet & Valve. Therefore Inlet Valve is that valve through which fuel or a mixture whose pressure in increased by reducing its volume in intaked into the cylinder.
What is up stream pressure?
The upstream pressure is the pressure in a pipe or duct on the inlet side of a piece of mechanical equipment.
Where is the ac low pressure side switch on 4.3 Blazer?
It's not a switch. The high pressure runs from the compressor outlet to the orifice tube inlet, and the low pressure side runs from the orifice tube outlet to the compressor inlet.
Where is the low pressure inlet located on a Ford Taurus?
on a 2005 ford Taurus the AC inlet is next to the firewall on the passenger side
