Question:

It is proposed to pump 10,000 kg/h of toluene at 114°C and 1.1 atm abs pressure from the reboiler of a distillation tower to a second distillation unit without cooling the toluene before it enters the pump. If the friction loss in the line between the reboiler and pump is 7 kN/m2 and the density of toluene is 866 kg/m3, how far above the pump must the liquid level in the reboiler be maintained to give a net positive suction head of 2.5 m?
