The following figure depicts a pipe system connecting two reservoirs. No minor losses should be considered...
4.45 A two-tank pump/pipe system has a head requirement of 23.4 ft at a flow rate of 100 gpm. The elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tanks is 10 ft. The pump is a Bell & Gossett Series e-80 Model 2.5x2.5x9C operating at 1170 rpm with a 7.5-inch impeller. a. Develop an cquation for the system curve. b. Use a computer program to develop an equation for the 7.5-inch impeller using data read from the pump performance curve...
Example of Pipe Sizing The figure shows a closed piping system to supply chilled water to two heat exchangers. Size the pipe for this system, assuming schedule-40 steel pipe is used with threaded (screwed) fitting. Determine the pump flow rate and head requirements. Distances are as shown in feet. Head losses through the heat exchangers and chiller are shown as provided by the manufacturers. Q(gpm) Head Loss (ft) 70 Unit Chiller Heat Exchanger (a) 30 Heat Exchanger (b) 40 12...
