Milk is to be pumped from one open reservoir to another, overcoming the elevation differenceover a 500-meter pipelinea) Calculate the required pump head considering major and minor friction losses as well aselevation changes based on the flow rate of 400 GPM.b) Develop a pump head versus flow rate relationship.c) Using provided pump performance curves, determine the most suitable flow rate and selectthe optimal impeller size for efficient operation.
State any assumptions made about friction factors or minor losses.Explain why matching the system curve to the pump curve is critical in system design.Reflect briefly on how small changes in system parameters and/or components couldimpact pump selection.
Milk flows through the pipeline from point 1 to point 2. An X NB (Nominal Bore) pipe is used atan elevation of 100 m at section A. Section B is at an elevation of 107 m, and the pipe size isincreased by 50NB. The pipes used are stainless steel with a schedule of 40S. When a dischargeof 400 GPM is passed through this pipe, the gauge pressure at section A is observed to be 40 kPa(Ignore all the losses).Milk Properties:Viscosity (μ) 3 cPDensity (ρ) 1060 kg/m³
(a) As a general guideline, a suitable velocity for transferring milk is roughly within 1 to 4m/s. Determine X NB and Y NB in a way that stays within the suitable range.(b) What is the minimum length for section A for flow to reach fully developed (entrancelength)?(c) Calculate the pressure at point 2.(d) Consider the case where Point 2 is exposed to atmospheric pressure. Assess whetherflow would still occur from Point 1 to Point 2. If not, calculate the additional pressurerequired at Point 1 to sustain the flow toward Point 2.
A) Determine the pressure heads at A and B in meters of water.b) Just before the pressures and fluid levels stabilise, determine the flow direction betweenthe two tanks. Explain your reasoning
milk properties are:
Viscosity (μ) 3 cPDensity (ρ) 1060 kg/m

- In this task, milk flows through a double nozzle (Y-piece configuration) as shown in the figure. Thenozzles are open to the atmosphere, and the axes of the pipes and both nozzles lie within thehorizontal plane. The milk exits each nozzle at a velocity of 18 m/s. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force exerted on the doublenozzle assembly.• Reflect on the assumptions made during your force calculations.• Discuss how the resultant force would change if the angle of the two nozzle outlets wereincreased up to 90 degrees.arrow_forwardThe resistance R and load effect S for a given failure mode are statistically independent random variables with marginal PDF's FR (r) = 0≤r≤100 100' fs(s)=0.05e0.05, 0arrow_forwardQu 1 If crank OA rotates with an angular velocity of ω = 12 rad/s, determine the velocity of piston B and the angular velocity of rod AB at the instant shown. please show all workarrow_forwardQ2/ Maria has an online shop where she sells hand made paintings and cards.
