Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

A pump is to deliver water at a rate of 1.4 m³/s from a sump to reservoir which is 10 km away through a steel pipe 1200 mm in diameter for a length of 5 km and the remaining through a PSC pipe of diameter 1000 mm. The elevation difference between the full tank level of the delivery reservoir and the low water level of the sump is 50 m. What is the Break Horse Power (in kW) requirement of the motor? Assume the pump house loss of 3.75 m and minor losses to be 10% of the friction losses. Use Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (f) of 0.018 for steel pipe and 0.02 for PSC pipe with a pump efficiency of 80%.
