Question: 3 4 . - 1 0 0 kg / h . of pure CO 2 are to be passed from a gasometer to a reactor.

34.-100 kg/h. of pure CO2 are to be passed from a gasometer to a reactor. The gas is in the gasometer at a gauge pressure of 20 cm of water, while the discharge gauge pressure (at the reactor inlet) is 20 cm of water.
The gas is in the gasometer at a manometric pressure of 20 cm of water, while the discharge manometric pressure (at the reactor inlet) is 500 cm of water.
Gasometer and reactor are connected by a standard 2 steel pipe, with a length equivalent to 1900 m of straight pipe.
The energy required for the operation must be supplied by a centrifugal compressor attached to the gasometer. 0,837 HP
Calculate the theoretical power of the compressor in HP.
DATA AND NOTES.
Assume gas temperature constant and equal to 15\deg C throughout the system.
- Viscosity of pure CO2 at 15\deg C =0.0143 c.p.
- Exponent corresponding to the real compression curve, n =1.28.
- Standard 2 pipe; Di=2.067; De=2.375"; \epsi =0.00005 m
