Methanol is to be pumped from large storage to tank cars at the rate of 1000 litres per min. The transfer line is 10 cm internal diameter and consists of 150m of straight pipe, four 900 standard elbows (Le/D =32) two side run tees (Le/D = 90) and two gate valves (Le/D = 7). The level in the storage tank is 5 m below the level of the discharge. If a centrifugal pump having an overall efficiency is 70 % is used for this purpose, determine the horse power needed

                          

                           Data                                                                          

                                Density of methanol = 0.79 gm/cc

                                Viscosity of methanol = 0.66 c.p

Fanning’s friction factor may be calculate from the relation, f = 0.08 Re-0.25

Water at 200 Fahrenheit is pumped from a storage tank at the rate of 50 gallons/minute. The motor for the pump supplies work at the rate of 2 hp. The water goes through a heat exchanger, giving up heat at the rate of 40,000 BTU/minute(Q Net In), and is delivered to a second storage tank at an elevation 50 feet above the first tank. What is the temperature of the water delivered to the second tank?
