Question
Transcribed Image Text:A liquid (SG = 0.8 and μ = 5 CP = 0.00336 lbm/ft s) from a solvent recovery plant is being pumped
from a vessel into a reactor. The flow rate to the rector is 100 GPM (0.2228 ft³/s,) and the line,
schedule 40-carbon steel (a = 0.0018 in). The pressure in the vessel is 15 psig and the reactor is
pressurized to 65 psig. The flow into the reactor is 25 ft below the level in the vessel as shown in
the drawing. The centrifugal pump is located 5 ft below the level in the vessel.
The piping consists of the following:
Suction line
10 ft of 2.5"
Pipe
Gate valves
90 degree elbows
Check valves
