Transcribed Image Text:

Liquid hydrocarbon (or organic liquid) is discharged at the rate of 6000 kg/h from a reactor to a storage tank at 50°C, shown in Figure 2. The reactor is working at 500 kPa pressure. The density of the liquid hydrocarbon is 920 kg/m3, and viscosity is 0.91 mPa.s or cP. Assume no flashing of the liquid hydrocarbon across the control valve. [15 Marks] Piping details: Linear length of straight pipe 60, Pressure drop in orifice meter =30 kPa, No. of 90° elbows of standards radius = 5, No. of Tees 3, No. of gate valves =3, No. of globe valves 1, No. of flow controls valve = 1 (Note: all are not shown in figure) Flow control valve Orifice meter Reactor at 500 kPa Figure 2.
