It is required to pump 45m3/h of a hydrocarbon from a storage tank (at atmospheric pressure and 60C ) to a distillation column. The liquid level in the tank will be 1.5m above the pump inlet. The suction line is 80mm internal diameter commercial steel pipe (absolute roughness =0.046mm ), 100m long. Miscellaneous losses in the suction line are equivalent to 600 pipe diameters. The vapour pressure of the hydrocarbon at the pump suction is 25kN/m2(at60C). Determine whether this is a suitable pump arrangement if the NPSH required is 6m. Density of fluid at 60C=875kg/m3 Viscosity of fluid: 1.45mNs/m2 It is required to pump 45m3/h of a hydrocarbon from a storage tank (at atmospheric pressure and 60C ) to a distillation column.
