Sample Problems
1. Pipe is to be specified for a water volumetric flowrate of 200 L/min and working temperature of 30ºC. Compute for the typical pipe diameter.
2. Pipe is to be specified for a water flowrate of 1500 L/min at 30ºC. Estimate for the minimum diameter required based on maximum fluid velocity
Sample Problems
3. Sulfuric acid with a volume flowrate of 50 L/min and temperature 30ºC is supplied through a pipeline. Calculate the pipe minimum diameter required.
4. Compute for the minimum pipe diameter requirement for the liquid flowing at of 550 L/min based on the reasonable velocity presented by Backhurst and Harker (1973).
Sample Problems
5. Methanol with a flowrate of 75 L/min is pumped from a storage tank. Estimate the minimum pipeline diameter (Sch 40) at the pump suction connecting the storage tank.
6. Carbon dioxide is flowing at a rate of 150 L/min inside a pipe. The temperature of the gas is 32 deg. C and the pipeline pressure is 150 psi. Calculate the minimum diameter of the pipe if the CO2 compressibility factor is 0.82 and the piping cost is 25 $/in/ft.
