Q4. A system with turpentine at 25°C (with density p = 870 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity = 1.37 × 10â»Â³ Pas) is flowing at the rate of 0.015 m³/s as shown in Figure 4. The suction line is a standard 4-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe, 15 m long. The total length of 2-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe in the discharge line is 220 m. Assume that the entrance from reservoir 1 is through a square-edged inlet (with resistance coefficient K = 0.5) and that the elbows are standard. The valve is a fully open globe valve. (Note: The roughness of steel pipe e = 4.6 × 10â»âµ m)
(e) Write an expression to represent the energy equation of this system. (1 mark)
(b) Find out the velocity at the suction line (vs) and velocity at the discharge line. (2 marks)
(c) Determine the friction factor at the suction line (fs) and discharge line (fa) respectively. (3 marks)
(d) Given that the energy loss in the valve in the discharge line is 15.76 m and in each standard elbow is 1.39 m, find out the total loss (h) of the overall system. (3 marks)
(c) Calculate the power supplied to the pump if its efficiency is 80 percent. (1 mark)
