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.

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?
