A pipeline connecting two tanks contains four standard elbows, a plug valve that is fully open and a gate valve that is half open. The line is commercial steel pipe, 25 mm internal diameter, length 120 m. The properties of the fluid are: viscosity 0.99 mNM_2 s, density 998 kg/m3. Calculate the total pressure drop due to friction when the flow rate is 3500 kg/h 2. A tanker carrying toluene is unloaded, using the ship’s pumps, to an on-shore storage tank. The pipeline is 225 mm internal diameter and 900 m long. Miscellaneous losses due to fittings, valves, etc., amount to 600 equivalent pipe diameters. The maximum liquid evel in the storage tank is 30 m above the lowest level in the ship’s tanks. The ships tanks are nitrogen blanketed and maintained at a pressure of 1.05 bar. The storage tank has a floating roof, which exerts a pressure of 1.1 bar on the liquid. The ship must unload 1000 tonne within 5 hours to avoid demurrage charges. Estimate the power required by the pump. Take the pump efficiency as 70 per cent. Physical properties of toluene: density 874 kg/m3, viscosity 0.62 m 3. A process liquid is pumped from
