In the maceration process of a barley, water must be supplied from a tank located on one side of the plant, this tank has an absolute pressure of 1 atm while the tank used for maceration is at a pressure of 6.5 atm. For the impulsion of fluid, a centrifugal pump is used, whose discharge section must be made up of a commercial steel pipe with a diameter of 2 inches and a length of 30 meters. While the suction section will use a pipe of the same material and with a diameter of 2 inches and a length of 10 meters. The suction section has 2 100% open gate valves installed and a 90° long radius elbow, the discharge section consists of a conventional globe valve without fully open obstruction and two elbows, one with a 90° normal radius and the other 90° long radius. If you want to operate with a flow rate of 60 [L/minutes]. What is the required pump power in HP? Water density= 1,000 [Kg/m^3] Viscosity of water= 1,003*10^-3 [Kg/ms] Conversion: 745 Watts = 1 HP In the maceration process of a barley, water must be supplied from a tank located on one side of the plant, this tank has an absolute pressure of 1 atm while the tank used for maceration is at a pressure of 6.5 atm.
