a liquid with density of 59 lb / ft ^ 3 and viscosity of 7cp is transported at 105.4 gpm by a pump 70% efficiency of a # 1 tank operating at 15psig to another tank # 2 that operates at 55psig. The level of liquid in tank # 2 is 86 ft above the liquid level in tank # 1. Between both tanks there is 350 ft of linear tube with internal diameter of 2.25in and e / D of 0.006; the following obstructions: two (2) angle valve open, two (2) globe valve open, three (3) return bends and five (5) square 90 ° elbows. Calculate: (a) the power of the pump (horsepower). (b) the daily operating cost if the energy costs $ 0.31 kW / hr.

2. An oil having density of 833 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 3.3 x 103 Pa.s is pumped from an open tank to a pressurized tank held at 345 k Pa gauge. The oil is pumped from an inlet at the side of the open tank through a line of commercial steel pipe having an inside diameter of 0.07792 m at the rate of 3.494 x 103 m'/s. The length of the straight pipe is 122 m and the pipe...
Oil (density = 910Kg/m3 and viscosity 3.1 x10-3 Pa-s) is pumped from an open tank to a pressurized tank held at 400KPa gauge. The oil is pumped from an inlet at the side of the open tank through a line of commercial steel pipe (inside diameter 0.8m) at a rate of 5x10-3 m3/s. The length of the straight pipe is 150 m, and the pipe contains 4 (90-degree) elbows and two globe valve half open. The level of the liquid...
The system below shows a simplified schematic of an oil transfer system between tanks, from left to right: L L The oil specific gravity is 0.77 and its viscosity is 2.7 [cP). The pipes are horizontal and coaxial (neglect difference in height between suction and discharge). The tanks are closed but vented so that they are at atmospheric pressure ([atm]). Assume for simplicity that the liquid level in each tank is 2.5 (m) above the level of the pipes (in...
A liquid chemical is pumped from a storage tank open to the atmosphere, into a reactor with pressure of 2.0 atm gauge above the liquid level. The liquid density is 1200 kg/m3 and viscosity is 1.45 cP. The required volumetric flow rate is 1.25 x 103 m/s. The pipeline is 100 m long in total, made of commercial steel pipe, 2 in. size and Schedule 40. The gate valve is wide open. 10 m Reactor Calculate: (a) The discharge velocity...
