Q3) It is desired to pump toluene from a storage tank to a distillation column with 200 gpm pumping capacity from an atmospheric storage at 100F. Specific gravity and viscosity of toluene are 0.85 and 0.55cp respectively. The pump has a NPSHR25ft Pump efficiency is 75% Antoine equation constants for toluene are A=16.014,B=3096.52 and C=53.67. Antoine equation is ln(p)=AC+TB Where p= vapor pressure, mmHg and T= temperature in K a. Estimate the pump suction size, in b. Estimate NPSHA,ft, c. Is this pump is suitable for this purpose? d. Total Head, psi e. Brake horsepower, hp f. Estimate the flash point of toluene (40pts)
