Question: A liquid solvent at 3 0 C ( vapour pressure = 1 0 0 . 8 kPa, density = 6 2 2 k g m
A liquid solvent at vapour pressure kPa, density and viscosity is to be delivered to tank B from tank A for storage purposes using a centrifugal pump with an efficiency of as shown in figure Along the pump suction line of there are units of standard elbows, units of half open globe valves, unit of fully open check valve and a sharp edge inlet. Meanwhile in the pump delivery line of there are units of fully open butterfly valves, units of standard elbows and a sharp edge exit. Both closed tank A and B are kept at a pressure of kPa and kPa respectively and the pipe is made of composite having a diameter and relative roughness of and respectively.
Figure Liquid solvent pumped from tank to tank
a If the volumetric flow rate of the solvent is taken at and the useful is calculate the power required to drive the pump. Subsequently establish the NPSH available NPSHa for the described system.
