4] A multi-storied shopping mall has installed 5 x 110 TR reciprocating compressors of which four compressors are in use and fully loaded for 14 hours per day. The specific power consumption of reciprocating compressor is 0.8 kW/TR. Due to higher energy cost the shopping mall chief engineer has decided to replace reciprocating compressors with screw compressors having specific power consumption of 0.65 kW/TR. The chief engineer needs following input from energy consultant:

Methanol (SG = 0.8335, viscosity is equal to that of water) is being transported from a very large reservoir and is entering at a standard 1.25-in 540 pipe at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psia. The methanol is transported at a total of 1450 ft and passes through 15 standard ells, 5 gate valves (open), 6 tees (standard), and 4 tees (as ell, entering branch). The methanol is discharged 22 ft above the inlet at a gauge pressure of 8 psig. If the fluid flows at a rate of 30 gpm and the pump have an efficiency of 50%, calculate the actual power needed in kW.
The distilled water exit the desalination unit through a pipe at a rate of Qmain andpressure Pmain, branches out into two pipes at right angles, each carrying half thetotal flow, as shown in the plan view below.

Water piping A long pipe is installed to carry water from one large reservoir to another. The total lenght of the pipe is 10 km, its diameter is 0,5 m, and its roughness=0,5 mm. The pipe must climg over a hill. Kinematic viscosity of water is 10^-6 m2/s. The pump must be powerful enough to push 1 m3/s of water. Minor losses can be ignored. What is the pumping power required to meet the design requirements?
