2. A pipe flow system is shown below in Figure 3. Table 1 shows the data that was available to another engineer and he has already sized sections 1-2-3-4-5 to keep velocity below 5 ft/s and has created Table 2 already (which is incomplete). He has left the company and your boss asked you the following questions, assuming the desired flow rate of Unit Bis 140 gpm: (show your work for all questions) Expansion Tank 40 ft 30 ft Orifice a Orifice b Unit A Unit B Globe Valve 20 ft 40 ft Chiller 3-55- Ž Pump Figure 3. Schematic of Piping System (Not to Scale). Lengths and Equivalent Lengths of fittings for Sections 1-2-3-4-5 are given in Table 2. Table 1. Available Data for Head Losses of Chiller and Units A and B and the Orifices a and b at the specified flow rate in table Q (gpm) Lost head (ft) for the given Q (gpm) Chiller 200 50 Unit A Unit B 70 25 Orifice a 60 10 Orifice b 70 5 *Note that this gpm listed may or may not be the required flow rate; this is the flow rate for the corresponding lost head data available/given. 60 35

Size the pipe for sections 2-6 and 7-4 and determine total head losses in these sections (only for piping and fittings; exclude orifice and unit). (Hint: complete Table 2 for Sections 2-6 and 7-4.) ii) (5 pts.) What is the Unit B head loss in ft of water at a flow rate of 140 gpm?
iii) (2 pts.) What is the Orifice b head loss in ft of water at a flow rate of 140 gpm? iv) (3 pts.) What is the pressure drop across Orifice a in psi (Iblin2)? v) (10 pts.) Not considering your answers to questions i-iv above, assuming the head loss in Unit B is 100 ft and head loss in Orifice bis 20 ft and the total head losses in piping and fittings for section 2- 6-7-4 is 10 ft of water, what is the head requirement (in ft of water) for the pump?
