Fluid Flow Question
« on: April 17, 2008, 11:36:15 AM »
Please tell me what the following are given the avail. information so I may check my work:
-hf (friction head loss)
-f (resistance factor)
-re (reynolds number)
-v (mean velocity)
-g (acceleration due to gravity [9.81 M/Sec^2])
-Q (flow rate)
-A (area)
-the pump HP (head pressure)

Given Information:
m=0.55
Pipe - 10" sch 160 pipe
Liqiud being used - 2,000 GPM (Jet Fuel A)
Jet Fuel A Vapor Pressures (lbs. per sq. in.):
@ 60 degrees F - 2.0
@ 10 degrees F - .75
@ 80 degrees F - 3.4

Also how will I find the NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head) at:
@ 60 degrees F (Jet Fuel Vapor Pressure 2.0)
@ 10 degrees F (Jet Fuel Vapor Pressure .75)
@ 85 degrees F (Jet Fuel Vapor Pressure 3.4)

(A rough detail of what were dealing with)
1,500ft of straight pipe between two tanks. 120ft elevation difference between them. A pump is
located 50ft from the first tank (where the elevation difference occurs) The rest of the 1,450ft
of pipe goes straight into the second tank.

THANKS
