4. A special oil is to be used in an absorption tower. The preliminary design of the unit requires the oil to be pumped from an open tank with a 10 ft liquid level above the floor and forced through 150 ft of 3 inches schedule 40 pipe with a ball check valve and 5 elbows into the top of a tower 30 ft above the floor. The operating pressure in the tower is to be 52 psig and the oil requirement is estimated at 50 gpm. The viscosity of the oil 15 cP and its density is 53.5 Ibm/ft. Assuming the pumping outfit operates with an overall efficiency of 60%, what horsepower input will be required for the pump motor?
Give the isometric configuration of the typical piping system of a pump installation using standard symbols for required valves and fittings. Draw according to valid practice and label the parts.
A "spa tub" is to be designed to replace bath tubs in reno- vations. There are to be 6 outlet nozzles, each with a di- ameter of 12 mm, and each should have an outlet velocity of 12 m/s. What is the required flow rate from the single pump that supplies all of these nozzles? If there is one suction line leading to the pump, what is the minimum diameter to limit the velocity at the inlet of the pump to 2.5 m/s?
Water at 5°C is to be pumped from the river to the bottom of a water tower. The pump is 5 m above the river (dimension "a" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 6.00 inch schedule 40 pipe. The tank is 19.5 m above the pump (dimension "b" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 4 inch schedule 40 pipe. The water level in the tank is 4.3 m above the inlet (dimension "c" on the diagram below). The pump delivers 0.021 m/s. Losses are estimated to be 1.2 m between the river and the pump, and 4.2 m between the pump and the tank. Discharge line Suction line Pump River a) Calculate the losses in the suction line in kPa, based on the given head loss in m. kPa b) Calculate velocity in the suction line in m/s. m/s c) What is the pressure at the inlet to the pump in kPa? kPa
Is there a flaw in the pipeline design as shown in Flgure 4 ? (select one): (A) The strainer and foot valve should not be used as the combination may cause cavitation. (B) The foot valve should not be used as it may cause cavitation. (C) The pump should be placed at a higher elevation to prevent cavitation from occurring. (D) The gate valve should not be placed on the suction side of the pump as it may cause cavitation. (E) The intake is not placed deep enough below the water surface of the river as it may cause cavitation.

10 m3/min of free air is to be compressed to 8 bar gauge in two stages. Assuming a 2 bar gauge intercooler pressure and a polytropic index of 1.3, what is the flowrate out of the compressor plant ?
For the single pump-pipe system below, what will be the changes for the operating point if we increase the pipe size but decrease the shaft speed of the pump? EB H₂ O The operating point will remain the same. O The operating point will occur either at a higher discharge or at a lower discharge, depending on the specific influence of each change. O The operating point will occur at a higher discharge. O The operating point will occur at a lower discharge.

Topics: Fundamental of fluid flow Oil (SG=0.82) entering a pump through an 8-inch diameter pipe at 4 psi has a flow rate of 3.5 cfs. It leaves the pump through a 4-inch diameter pipe at 15 psi. Assuming that the suction and discharge sides of the pump are at the same elevation, find the horsepower delivered to the water by the pump (550 lb.ft/s = 1 HP). Illustrate the problem and show your complete solution.

A Process fluid is pumped from the bottom of one distillation column to another, using a centrifugal pump. The line is a standard commercial steel pipe with a 75 mm internal diameter. From the column to the pump inlet the line is 25 m long and contains six standard elbows and a fully open gate valve From the pump outlet to the second column, the line is 250 m long and contains ten standard elbows, and four gate valves (operated fully open). The fluid level in the first column is 4 m above the pump inlet. The feed point of the second column is 6 m above the pump inlet. The operating pressure in the first column is 1.05 bara and that of the second column is 0.3 barg. (i) Draw the system, (ii) determine the operating point on the pump characteristic curve. (iii) determine the NPSH at this flowrate. The physical properties of the fluid are: density 875 kg/m³, viscosity 1.46 mNs.m², and vapour pressure of the fluid at the pump suction is 25 kN/m².
