A set of pumps need to be installed to transfer liquid from a storage tank into a distillation column. a)      What design issues do you have to consider? b)  Which other engineering disciplines do you need to be involved in?

P1 P2 L3 11 12 L4 15 P3 A liquid flows through a pipe as shown above at a rate of 100 gpm. The entire piping system is 2inch inside diameter pipe Given: • The density of water is 62.4 lbm/ft3 ⚫ The specific gravity of the fluid is 0.75 • The viscosity of the fluid is 15 CP; The relative roughness of the piping is 0.0006 ⚫ Pressure gauge readings are in psig and P1 = 130 psig ⚫The piping system dimensions are as follows: L1-19ft; L2=36ft; L3-75ft; L4=10ft ; L5=18ft;

Work is produced during a steam power plant cycle by the following equipment/step(s) (SELECT ALL that apply): Condenser Boiler Pump Turbine/Expander

Answer: 20 psi/1000ft; ≈40psi /1000ft
