A pump is being used to transport a liquid food product (density=1000kg/m^3, velocity=1.5cP) from a holding talk to a filling machine at a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The liquid level in the holding tank is 10m above the pump, and the filling machine is 5m above the pump. There is 100m of 2-in. nominal diameter sanitary pipeline between the holding tank and the filling machine, with one open globe valve and four regular 90 degree flanged elbows in the system. The product is being pumped through a heat exchanger with 100kPa of pressure drop due to friction before filling. Determine the theoretical power requirement for the pump.

The steps I need to take: find the average velocity, Reynold's number and relative roughness. After that, calculate the losses due to friction (2 minor (fittings and globe valves) and one major). Then find Ep and use that to find the power.

Can someone help me solve this with the steps I wrote down? Thank you

A pump is used to fill up a rectangular tank with liquid methanol solution (density 900 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity 1.20 x 10-3 Ns/m2) through a 2.5 inch diameter pipe. The tank is 1.4 m wide, 1.6 m long and 1.2 m deep. 1. Estimate the volumetric flow rate (m3/s) in the pipe if the pump can move the methanol at a rate of 80.6 L/min through this pipe. 2. Estimate the average velocity in the pipe (m/s) if the...

A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of 43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0 psig pumping at a...

3. A machine is used to fill containers with a liquid product. Fill volume can be assumed to be normally distributed. A random sample of ten containers is selected, and the net contents (oz) are as follows: 12.03, 12.01, 12.04, 12.02, 12.05, 11.98, 11.96, 12.02, 12.05, 11.99. a. Suppose that the manufacturer wants to be sure that the mean net contents exceeds 12 oz. What conclusions can be drawn from the data. Use a = 0.01. b. Construct a 95%...

A small water pump is used for an irrigation project. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a mass flow rate of 16.83 kg/s. The exit line enters a pipe that goes up to an elevation 26.15 mm above the pump and river, where the water runs into an open channel. Assume the process is adiabatic and that the water stays at 10 oC. Find the required pump work.

A food processing plant wants to re-purpose a pump they used to pressurize the cold water system (35° F) to pressurize the hot water system (180° F). In every regard the cool and hot water systems are identical - only the temperature of the fluid is different. What is the correct impact on the net positive suction head available (NPSHa)?
