Solve the following please
A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the top of a structure at P2
The entire piping system is 1.5 sch 40 pipe
The piping system is intended to provide liquid at a rate of 80gpm while maintaining a P2 pressure of 30 psig.
The flowrate at P1 and P2 are the same. (ie.. there is no splitting or branching of the flow)
The friction factor, f(fanning), can be assumed to be 0.006
Given:
The density of water is 62.4lbmft3
The specific gravity of the fluid is 0.75
The viscosity of the fluid is 20cP The piping system is shown above and contains the following fittings:
1890 degree bends; K=12f
13 gate valves; K=8f
4 check valves; k=22f
8 tee runs; K=15f
2 tee branches; K=54f
The piping system dimensions are as follows: A=21ft;B=180ft;C=80ft
What is the volumetric flow, ft3s, through the pipe?
What is the velocity, fts?
What is the pressure drop, psi, due to the pipe?
What is the pressure drop, psi, due to the pipe and fittings?
What is the pressure at P1, psig?
If the piping system was full of liquid but the flowrate was 0gpm.
What would P1- P2 be, psig?
