A storage vessel exposed to atmosphere (absolute pressure =10.3 m of water) has a diameter of 3 m and is initially filled with water to a height of 2 m. The pump draws water from the vessel and is located at an elevation of 5 m above the bottom of the vessel. The frictional head loss in the suction pipe is 2 m of water. If the vapour pressure of the liquid at the temperature of operation is 3 m of water. then the available NPSH is
A
2.3 m
B
5.3 m
C
6.3 m
D
8.3 m

Correct : a
