Pb_02-Tank_design

Pipe - Tank-design02 :

Design a system to fill a tank through a pipeline and a Pump.

the pipe diameter is to be prescribed (D= ? ) for a supposed

lenght, L= 30 km; and a tank capacity of 15,000 bbl to be filled

in 24 h. The pipe (new) material can be assumed to be steel with an

absolute roughness of k= 1.4 e-4 ft (0.046 mm)

The maximum elevation change is 10 m

Consider an fluid of relativel density of s= 1.0 & = 0.001 Pa-s.

.... water initially & then change to oiL...

Calculate the optimal pipe diameter & power required
