You will design a pump and pipeline system for a private transportation company. The task is to pump toluene from a huge storage tank A (on the ground) to a large tank B (at an elevation of 10 ft) of a distillation column. The pipeline is about 2,000 ft in length. In addition, the system has 2 globe valves, 1 swing check valve, and 8 pieces of 90o standard elbows as accessories. The connections between the pipe and tanks (A and B) to the pipeline are considered sudden contraction and sudden expansion, respectively. The required volumetric flow rate is 400 gal/min (minimum flow rate). You are required to:

1- Select the suitable US schedule 40 pipe (must use the fixed diameter for the whole system).

2- Caluate Frication heating loss in the system

3- Calculate the minimum power of the pump, and compare them at different pipeline size.

4- Estimate efficiency of the pump of your choice at the working conditions (Chapter 10 content).

5- Discuss the potential of optimizing the integrated process considering different pipeline sizes

and pumping system (Techno-economic evaluations).

6- Write your report in an essay format that should include introduction with problem statement,

methodology, results (calculations and figures), discussions (recommended design and

implications) and conclusion.
