1. o The diagram shown below represents a process for which a pnmp and associated pipe work require to be correctly sized. oom I m pipe length 200 kPa absolute ISm 2m Venr N R A m pipe lengih Im"' The liguid is to be pumped from the underground storage vessel which is vented to atmosphere (assume 1 bar pressure) to a pressurised container supported some distance above ground level. The pump is sited at ground level and must be capable of delivering 0.01 m? s~ with & maximum velocity of 1| 8 ms 1. (a) Calculate the theoretical diameter of the pipe: the nominal pipe diameter chosen from the table; and the actual average velocity in the nominal pipe. 3 Inside diameter (mm) 20 2.5 32 40 50 65 80 90 100 (b) Calculate Reynolds number for the process and hence the head loss due to friction. State any assumptions made. (c) Using the following table for minor head losses, calculate the minor head losses for the system using both the equivalent length method and the number of velocity heads method. Compare the head losses estimated by each method. Fitting Equivalent length as number Number of velocity of pipe diameters heads lost Standard OF bend 37 0.75 Entry to pipe 15 03 Exit from pipe 50 1 (d) Calculate the head required for the pump and its power requirement assuming a 70% efficiency.4 {e) If the same pump was later used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, what flow rale of liquid could be achieved? (N.B. This may reguire an iterative solution). State any assumptions made.
