Question 24 from the afternoon session of the 2011 Chemical Engineering exam – request for an analysis
Thread Content
Dear experts in chemical engineering, for question 24 in the afternoon session of the 2011 chemical engineering exam, the task was to determine the maximum amount of water that can be pumped out by the pump In the solution explanation, the installation height of the pump was calculated. What is the relationship between the amount of water that the pump can pump and its installation height?
You’ve seen this problem too, right? So how should it be calculated? Do you have any idea?
I couldn’t see the question; is it about water volume or flow rate? If it’s flow rate, then the velocity can be calculated, and then the allowable suction height can be used to determine something else
Personally, I think the answer to this question is D. I worked on it today and was able to calculate that Hg is around 3.8; this means that the pump is capable of pumping out all the water in the tank. The total volume of water in the tank is 4*3.14*4=50.2 m3
