To study the behavior of fluid flow is very much important in all kind of process industries. An understanding of type of fluid, type of fluid flow pattern and fluid properties is necessary, not only for precisely treating problems on the movement of fluid through pipes, ducts, pumps and all kinds of chemical process equipment but also for study of heat flow and the many separation operations that depend on heat and mass transfer. As we know that Oman is one of the crude oil producing country and this crude oil is transported to the treatment process through pipeline. Crude oil is to be transported from Sohar refinery to Salalah located 1211 km away from the source through a steel pipe line. The difference in level between Sohar refinery and Salalah are considered to be negligible. The linear velocity and volumetric flow rate of crude oil are 70.7 cm/sec and 52.118' barrels /day. Each station increases the pressure which drops tol 70 kN/mat the inlet to the next pumping station. Carry out detailed study and use appropriate equations to submit the report for the following. . . Write the required assumptions to solve the problem Refer litera re to get the properties of crude oil for calculations Design suitaule pipe diameter for the transportation of crude oil Calculate the friction factor value suitably for your calculations Calculate horse power theoretically required to overcome friction in the line Since maximum allowable pressure in any section of the line is 3000kN/m2, it will be necessary to insert additional pumping stations as suitable intervals along the line and hence calculate the smallest no. of pumping stations. Describe the working principles and salient features of gear pump in details
