A lean oil is to be used as the absorbing medium for removing a component of a gas. As part of the design for the absorption unit, It is necessary to estimate the size of the pump (in terms of capacity - head factor) and the cost to deliver the oil to the top of the absorber. The oil must be pumped from a closed tank with a liquid level of 2m above the floor and forced through a 50 m pipe length of 0.05m internal diameter. There are three 90° elbows in the line (each with equivalent length of 2.5m) and the top of the absorber is 15m above the floor level. The operating pressure in the absorber is 500KN/m while that of the tank is 150 KN/m. The oil requirement is to be 0.50m/min, viscosity is 1.5 N.s/m, and the density is 800 Kg/m' (1) Sketch the process (I) Determine the pump (i) Estimate the cost of the pump given that a similar pump with capacity- head factor of 20 m/min-m costs $25,000 head

Need help with the following questionA reducing elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to deflect water by an angle of110° from the flow direction while accelerating it. Hot water at 80°C flowsat a rate of 33 kg/s in the pipe. The elbow discharges water into theatmosphere. The cross-sectional area of the elbow is 150 cm2at the inlet and25 cm2at the outlet. The elevation difference between the entrance and theexit of the pipe is 40cm. The total mass of the elbow and water in it is 50kg.Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both inlet and outlet.Determine : -The inlet and outlet water velocities. -The gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow. -The anchoring force required to hold the elbow in place.
Water at 10°C (ρ = 999.7 kg/m3 and μ = 1.307 × 10−3 kg/m·s) is flowing steadily in a 0.14 cm diameter, 15 m long pipe at an average velocity of 1.0 m/s. Determine the following: The pressure drop The head loss The pumping power requirement to overcome this pressure drop
The minimum fresh air requirement of a residential building is specified to be 0.35 air changes per hour (ASHRAE, Standard 62, 1989). That is, 35 percent of the entire air contained in a residence should be replaced by fresh outdoor air every hour. If the ventilation requirement of a 2.7-m-high, 200-m2 residence is to be met entirely by a fan, determine the flow capacity in L/min of the fan that needs to be installed. Also determine the minimum diameter of the duct if the average air velocity is not to exceed 5 m/s.
A rectangular duct made of commercial steel is used to channel air at 1 atm and 35°C at an average velocity of 7 m/s. The duct is 15 cm by 20 cm and 12 m long. Disregarding the entrance effects, determine the fan power needed to overcome the pressure losses in this section of the duct.
Which has a greater minor loss coefficient during pipe flow: gradual expansion or gradual contraction? Why?
Consider fully developed flow in a circular pipe with negligible entrance effects. If the length of the pipe is doubled, the head loss will (a) double, (b) more than double, (c) less than double, (d ) reduce by half, or (e) remain constant.

During a retrofitting project of a fluid flow system to reduce the pumping power, it is proposed to install vanes into the miter elbows or to replace the sharp turns in 90° miter elbows by smooth curved bends. Which approach will result in a greater reduction in pumping power requirements?
Oil at 20°C is flowing through a vertical glass funnel that consists of a 20-cm-high cylindrical reservoir and a 1-cm-diameter, 40-cm-high pipe. The funnel is always maintained full by the addition of oil from a tank. assuming (a) the diameter of the pipe is tripled and (b) the length of the pipe is tripled while the diameter is maintained the same., determine the flow rate of oil through the funnel and calculate the “funnel effectiveness,” which is defined as the ratio of the actual flow rate through the funnel to the maximum flow rate for the “frictionless” case.

The inner diameter of the hose is c cm, and the hose is (20 +5d) m long. If the tank was initially filled to the brim, how long will it take before the tank is empty?

Two water reservoirs A and B are connected through a 40-m long, 2-cm diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 88 kPa. The water temperature is 10°C. a. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.2 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. b. Determine the pressure just before the valve
