Question:
Consider the situation illustrated in Figure P22.13. Due to downstream considerations, \(P_{8}\) is always maintained at \(200 \mathrm{kPa}\). It is known that \(P_{1}=100 \mathrm{kPa}\) and \(P_{4}=100 \mathrm{kPa}\), and because the feeds come from storage tanks maintained at constant pressure, they are always constant. It is also known that \(P_{3}=225 \mathrm{kPa}, P_{5}=375 \mathrm{kPa}, P_{6}=250 \mathrm{kPa}, P_{7}=225 \mathrm{kPa}\), and \(\dot{m}_{1}=15,500 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{h}\). The pump curves are given by the following equations, with \(\Delta P\) in \(\mathrm{kPa}\) and \(\dot{m}\) in \(\mathrm{Mg} / \mathrm{h}\) :

a. Calculate \(\dot{m}_{4}\) and \(\Delta P_{23}\) for this situation.
b. Sketch the pump and system curves for this situation as illustrated in Section 21. 2.1. Identify the pressure drop across the valves on the sketch.
