Octane is to be pumped in a piping system that is routed from storage tanks to the main pump by a number of smaller pumps. One such arrangement is shown below. This pump must supply 0.4 m3 /s of octane to the main pump. All fittings are flanged; the pipe is wrought iron, schedule 80, 2 nominal, with L=65 m. The absolute pressure at section 2 is 282.5 kPa. Determine the power required to be transferred to the liquid. Assuming the overall pump-motor efficiency is 65%, determine the input power required by the motor. Sch 80, 2 Nom: ?? = 5.252 ????, ?? = 0.00015 cm. Octane: ?? = 701 ????/??3 , ?? = 0.51 × 10?3 ????/??2

Two fuel storage tanks will be placed at an oil refinery near
Bakersfield. The tanks are 10 m in diameter, are spaced
center-to-center at 15 m, and contain fuel that has a Gs=0.95. The
height of the fuel in the tanks is 4 m. Determine the stress change
in the soil below the tanks at 4 locations: a) beneath the
centerline between the tanks, b) beneath the edge closest to the
other tank, c) beneath the center of one tank,...

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?

Liquids are often stored in elliptical storage tanks..
To measure the volume of liquid in the tank, a depth gauge
(measuring stick) can be used. It is inserted into an opening at
the top and the level the liquid reaches on the gauge can be used
to determine the amount of liquid in the tank.
The tank has width w, height h and length len (all in meters).
In the example output shown below, we take w=8, h=4 and len=7....

Recording Asset Retirement Obligation
BPP Company maintains underground storage tanks for its
operations. A new storage tank was installed and made ready for use
at a cost of $400,000 on January 1, 2020. The useful life is
estimated at 15 years, at which time the company is legally
required to remove the tank and restore the area at an estimated
cost of $40,000. The appropriate discount rate for the company is
12%.

Example 3.7: A commercial steel piping system is delivering
water at 30°C from pressurized tank A to pressurised tank B as
shown in figure below. The internal diameter of the pipe is 2.25
cm. The piping system has a well rounded inlet, 1/4 open gate
valve, four 90° flanged bend, two 90° miter bend (with vane) and a
sharp exit. The total pipe length is 300 m. Gauge pressure at tank
A is 500 bar. If the elevation difference, h...

The piping system that delivers water to the second floor of
your house, at an elevation of 16 feet from the ground, consists of
22 feet of 0.75" ID (ID = Internal Diameter) pipe followed by 16
feet of 0.5" ID pipe. Calculate the minimum pressure
required at the beginning of the piping system, located on ground
level, for delivering water with a flowrate of 2.7 gallons per
minute at atmospheric pressure on the second floor. Consider only
losses at...
