A liquid food(viscosty: 0.003 Pa S; density:1033 kg/m^3) is being pumped at a rate of 3 m^3/h from a tank A, where the absolute pressure is 12,350 Pa, to a tank B, where the absolute pressure is 101,325 Pa, through a sanitary with 3.8 cm diameter and 4.6x10^-5 m surface roughness. The pump is 1 m below the liquid level in tank A and the discharge in tank B is 3.3 m above the pump. If the length of the pipe in the suction line is 2 m, the dischargeline 10 m, and there are one 90 degree anlge flanged elbow in the suction line, two 90 degree angle thread elbowsin the discharge line, and one globe valve in the discharge line. Calculate he pump power required for finishing this job, assuming the efficeincy of the pump is 65%.

Great work covering the nodes especially with plants and regions. We can use this information to track the products and also review processes for efficiencies. What happens to organizations when they meet the demands, but do this at the expense of quality? How can product quality affect future production and sales?

Fluid: Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Questions
1- What's the purpose of putting baffles on the shell side? How does having more baffles affect the shell fluid velocity? The flow rate? What about the total residence time the fluid spends in the shell? Explain your answers
2- Point where heat transfer occurs? Write formulas for that area
3- Write the Donahue equation for the Nusselt No. (dimensionless heat transfer coefficient) correlation for the shell side. It is valid for Re down ~400. Why do you think it works for such small Re?
4- What do the terms parallel and cross flow mean, and at what points in the shell and tube exchanges would you find parallel flow and cross flow?
5- Determine a formula for the area available for cross flow, A_cross. Draw a sketch and discuss and then do the actual formula
6- Determine the area for parallel flow, A_parallel, in the baffle window. Draw a sketch and discuss and then do the actual formula
7- Explain how the areas are used in the correlation for the shell side heat transfer coefficient.
8- Write the formula for Nusselt No. on the tube side.
