Question: Consider the shown two - pipe reverse return hot water heating system. The longest equivalent length is 7 0 m . The heating load in

Consider the shown two-pipe reverse return hot water heating system. The longest equivalent length is 70 m . The heating load in kW for each radiator is shown on the figure.
Calculate the followings:
(a) Boiler heating capacity.
(b) Pump capacity, its model number and its pressure head if an iron and bronze pump is to be used.
(c) Diameter of all supply and return pipe sections if steel pipes are to be used. Assume that the hot water temperature drop across the radiators is 10C and the domestic hot water used is 300L? day with temperature difference of 55C.
(d) Diameter of supply and return pipe sections if copper tubes pipes are used instead of steel pipes.
(e) Repeat the solution if the hot water temperature drop across the radiators is 20C instead of 10C. Comment on the obtained results.
