Question
can you help me answer this, you can find what the data need in perry's chemical engineering handbook 9th edition

Transcribed Image Text:2.
An orifice meter equipped with flange taps is to be installed to measure
the flow rate of topped crude to a cracking unit. The oil is flowing at 100°F (37.8°C)
through a 4win. (100-mm) Schedule 40 pipe. An adequate run of straight
horizontal pipe is available for the installation. The expected maximum flow rate
is 12,000 bbl/d (1 bbl = 42 U.S. gal) (79.5 m³/h), measured at 60°F (15.6°C).
Mercury is to be used as a manometer fluid, and glycol (specific gravity 1.11) is to
be used in the leads as sealing liquid. The maximum reading of the meter is to be
30 in. (762 mm). The viscosity of the oil at 100°F (37.8°C) is 5.45 CP The specific
gravity (60°F/60°F) of the oil is 0.8927. The ratio of the density of the oil at 100°F
(37.8°C) to that at 60°F (15.6°C) is 0.984. Calculate (a) the diameter of the orifice
and (b) the power loss.
