Question:
A solvent $(\mathrm{SG}=0.9, \mu=0.8 \mathrm{cP}$ ) is transferred from a storage tank to a process unit through a $3 \mathrm{in}$. sch 40 pipeline that is $2000 \mathrm{ft}$ long. The line contains 12 elbows, four globe valves, an orifice meter with a diameter of $2.85 \mathrm{in}$., and a pump having the characteristics shown in Figure 8.2 with a $7 \frac{11}{4} \mathrm{in}$. impeller. The pressures in the storage tank and the process unit are both $1 \mathrm{~atm}$, and the process unit is $60 \mathrm{ft}$ higher than the storage tank. What is the pressure reading across the orifice meter in in. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ ?
