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
