The document provides information about a chemical engineering assignment to design a chemical plant. It lists the group members and their contact information. It then provides two chemical engineering design problems to solve. The first problem involves calculating the pump power needed to transfer crude dichlorobenzene from a storage tank to a distillation column. The second problem involves estimating the power that can be generated by a turbine from transferring a liquid between a reactor vessel and storage vessel.

Crude dichlorobenzene is pumped from a storage tank to a distillation column. The tank is blanketed
with nitrogen and the pressure above the liquid surface is held constant at 0.1 bar gauge pressure.
The minimum depth of liquid in the tank is 1 m. The distillation column operates at a pressure of
500mmHg (500mm of mercury, absolute). The feed point to the column is 12m above the base of the
tank. The tank and column are connected by a 50 mm internal diameter commercial steel pipe, 200m
long. The pipe run from the tank to the column contains the following valves and fittings: 20 standard
radius 90o elbows; two gate valves to isolate the pump (operated fully open); an orifice plate; and a
flow-control valve. If the maximum flow rate required is 20,000 kg/h, calculate the pump motor rating
(power) needed. Take the pump efficiency as 70% and allow for a pressure drop of 0.5 bar across the
control valve and a loss of 10 velocity heads across the orifice. Density of dichlorobenzene 1300
kg/m3, viscosity 1.4 cp.

A liquid is contained in a reactor vessel at 115 bar absolute pressure. It is transferred to a storage
vessel through a 50mm internal diameter commercial steel pipe. The storage vessel is nitrogen
blanketed, and pressure above the liquid surface is kept constant at 1500 N/m 2 gauge. The total run of
pipe between the two vessels is 200 m. The miscellaneous losses due to entry and exit losses, fittings,
valves, etc. amount to 800 equivalent pipe diameters. The liquid level in the storage vessel is at an
elevation 20m below the level in the reactor. A turbine is fitted in the pipeline to recover the excess
Energy that is available, over that required to transfer the liquid from one vessel to the other.
Estimate the power that can be taken from the turbine, when the liquid transfer rate is 5000 kg/h.
Take the efficiency of the turbine as 70%. The properties of the fluid are density 895 kg/m 3, viscosity
0.76 mNm2s.

Question No.3
Estimate the shaft work required to pump 65 gals/min of sugar solution in water (specific gravity =
1.05) if the pump inlet pressure is 25 psig and the outlet pressure required is 155 psig.

Solution:
Bernoulli’s equation is:

P1 v 21 P2 v 22
+ z 1+ +W +Q= + z 2 + +h L

Now applying bernoulli’s equation at pump section and pump discharge and

so our equation becomes;

Density of the Sugar Solution = (Density of Water @15oC) (Specific Gravity)

Density of the Sugar Solution = (1000) (1.05)

Density of the Sugar Solution = 1050 kg/m3

P1 = 25 psig = 172369 Pa

P2 = 155 psig = 1.069 x 106 Pa

Substituting the values,we get

𝑊 = 87.14 𝑚

𝑄 = 4.1 × 10−3 𝑚3/𝑠

∵ 𝑃 = ɤ𝑊𝑄

𝑃 = 1050 × 9.8 × 87.14 × 4.1 × 10−3
