Question 4 10kg/s of fluid from a hot reaction operating at 11.5 bar (gauge) and 150C is to be pumped to a storage facility. A centrifugal pump located two meters above the tank liquid level, is to be used for this purpose. To prevent cavitation, a heat exchanger will cool down the fluid prior to entering the pump. The reaction product will flow on the shell side of the heat exchanger. (i) Determine the maximum temperature which the fluid can have leaving the heat exchanger in order to just prevent cavitation. The piping system transporting the hot fluid from the reactor to the pump has the following properties: You may assume the system to have a constant friction factor equal to 0.006 and you may ignore secondary pipe frictional losses. p is given in Pascal absolute T is in Kelvin Kern Method shell side pressure drop correlation: Pressure drop equation Shell side friction factor - ps=de2f1Lspte22 Flow area - fs=1.816Re50.193 as=pDsCB
