Q.8 It required to transfer water at a rate of 2,170 kg/hr from a storage tank to a process vessel at 30 °C. Storage tank is at pressure 700 kPa a. What should be the optimum pipe size? From the following piping details: (a) determine pressure drop due to friction considering commercial steel pipe and (b) determine pressure drop due to pipe fittings by applying "equivalent pipe diameter" method. Total length of the pipe = 100 m, three 90° standard long elbow, two tee-entry from leg, two fully open gate valves, two half open globe vales-plug disk. Relative roughness of the pipe = [0.046/di], where di in mm. Take fluid density = 996 kg/m³ and viscosity = 8.9 x10-4 N-s/m² [8M]
