Pump selection
Thread Content
The flow rate is 2 t/h; the medium is propylene or ethyl acetate (two pumps); the transfer distance is 350 meters and the height is 10 meters. What kind of pump should be chosen? Mainly head, motor power, etc. . Thank you!
Just take a look at the basic knowledge of chemical engineering principles
Friction loss in straight pipe section: Maximum flow rate under normal operating conditions: 2.538 (m3/h). Inner diameter of pipe: 50 (m). Length of straight pipe: 350 (m). Fluid velocity inside the pipe: 3.59053854895133E-07 (m/s). Reynolds number: 17.9526927447566. Friction coefficient of straight pipe: 3.56492482269504. Friction loss in straight pipe section: 1.26754628070499E-12 (kPa). Local friction losses due to valves and fittings: 0 (kPa). Total friction loss in the pipeline: 1.26754628070499E-12 (kPa)
For the pump, choose a shielded pump or a magnetic pump; a head of 20 meters will be sufficient.
