HE 355 Problem Set # 3 Due: February 3,2022 @ 12:35 pm | Topic: Controllers & Equipment Sizing Pipes and Circuits It is required to design and simulate (rate) a new piping run to provide boiler feed water (BFW) to a waste heat boiler (WHB) in a process unit. The set up for this problem is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Process Diagram for Waste Heat Boiler Problem The deaerator (feed) tank contains saturated liquid water at 105\deg C and the water level in the tank is 10 ft above the pump inlet nozzle. The suction line (i.e., feed line to pump) comprises of 55 ft of equivalent length of NPS 6 Sch 40 carbon steel pipe. The total equivalent length of pipe on the discharge side of the pump is 650 ft of Sch 40 NPS 4 pipe. The design flowrate of BFW is 82,000 kg/h. The waste heat boiler will operate at 6.5 bar pressure and produce saturated steam at that temperature and the liquid level in the WHB will be 9 ft above ground. In analogy to the pumps and circuits flowsheet used in class, please set up the flow circuit in CHEMCAD for the WHB problem (shown in Fig. 1) using the following design parameters: Use SRK for both the VLE and H thermo options The pump is operated at a single speed of 3600 RPM. The performance curve for this operation is given as follows: Flow (m3/h) Efficiency ?Ppump (bar)00.619.68210.669.68430.719.67640.769.57850.818.801050.755.371160.711.181190.610.02 The pipe between pump and control valve is elevated to reach the height of WHB liquid level 2 ft Created in Master PDF Editor The control valve should be designed to be 60% open (valve position) at the normal operating flow (82,000 kg/h of BFW) The pressure in the exchanger shell should be regulated at 6.5 bar to allow the generated steam enough pressure to overcome frictional losses in the discharge piping leading to the lps header (which operates at 6 bar) You should also model the pressure drop across the heat exchanger for the shell side as a length of (NPS 4 Sch 40) pipe that gives a ?P =0.35 bar at design flow (82,000 kg/h).(a) Report the flowsheet simulation set up in CHEMCAD.
