Pump hydraulics:

Feed pumps:
Rated flow through pump = 5.1 cu.mtr per hr
The elevation of feed point from grade is 8.5 mtr. But for ease of maintenance the
feed control valve will be located on second floor at elevation of 11 mtr from grade.
The pump head will be calculated for 11 mtr discharge elevation.
The available positive suction head shall be avoided for this calculation.
Calculating total discharge head,
Selected discharge velocity = 1.6 m/s
The fittings in discharge line can be estimated by following,
Selecting straight length of pipe as 20 meters,
Le/L = 1 + (0.347d^0.5 + 0.216) Fc
Where d = pipe NB inches.
Fc = Correction factor = 1.0
Selected discharge pipe is DN 32 i.e NB 1.1/4
Therefore,
Le/L = 1.61
Le = 32.2 meters
Hence, Total equivalent length = 52.2 meters
Adding 30 % of above value for pressure drop across feed control valve,
Therefore, Final total equivalent length = 1.3 X 60 = 67.9 mtr
Calculation of friction factor,
ID of pipe = 35.048 mm
Velocity = 1.6 m/s
Density = 1470 kg/cu.mtr
Viscosity = 0.4 cP = 0.0004 Pa.s
Nre = 206083

Roughness factor for pipe, episilon = 0.025

Darcy Friction factor,f = 0.0198
Pressure drop = f. (L/ID).(V2/2g) = 0.0198 X (68/0.03505) X (sqr1.6/2X9.8)
=5.1 mLC
=72278 Pa
=0.74 Kg per sq.cm
Therefore total discharge head = Static head + Discharge losses = 11 + 5.1 = 16.1
mLC
Calculating Head loss through suction line:
Distance between feed pump suction and tank outlet = 3.5 meters
Selected suction velocity = 0.6 m/s
The fittings in suction line can be estimated by following,
Selecting straight length of pipe as 3.5 meters,
Le/L = 1 + (0.347d^0.5 + 0.216) Fc
Where d = pipe NB inches.
Fc = Correction factor = 1.0
Selected suction pipe is DN 50 i.e NB 2
Therefore,
Le/L = 1.71
Le = 5.985 meters
Hence, Total equivalent length = 9.485 meters
Calculation of friction factor,
ID of pipe = 52.506 mm
Velocity = 0.6 m/s
Density = 1470 kg/cu.mtr
Viscosity = 0.4 cP = 0.0004 Pa.s
Nre = 115776

Roughness factor for pipe, episilon = 0.025

Darcy Friction factor,f = 0.0198
Pressure drop = f. (L/ID).(V2/2g) = 0.0198 X (9.485/0.0525) X (sqr0.6/2X9.8)
=0.066 mLC
Total Head = 16.1 + 0.066 = 16.2 mLC
Pump shutoff head can be estimated as 30% plus above value.
Therefore, Pump shutoff head = 16.2 X 1.3 = 21.06 meters.
Pump shutoff pressure = Pump Shutoff head X Density X g = 21.06 X 1470 X 9.8
= 303390.4 Pa
=3.09 Kg per sq.cm (abs)

Reflux pumps:
Condensate mass flow = 20833 kg per hr
Condensate density = 1470 kg per cu.mtr
Therefore, volumetric flow rate = 14.7 cu.mtr per hr
Selecting velocity = 1.6 m/s
Diameter = 94 mm
Select DN 50 Sch 40 pipe.
Rated flow through pump = 14.7 cu.mtr per hr
For ease of maintenance and operation reflux pumps shall be located on first floor
at elevation of 5 mtr from grade.
The elevation of reflux point from grade is 12 mtr.
The pump head will be calculated for 12-5 = 7 mtr discharge elevation.
The available positive suction head shall be avoided for this calculation.
Calculating total discharge head,
Selected discharge velocity = 1.6 m/s
The fittings in discharge line can be estimated by following,

Selecting straight length of pipe as 7 meters,

Le/L = 1 + (0.347d^0.5 + 0.216) Fc
Where d = pipe NB inches.
Fc = Correction factor = 1.0
Selected discharge pipe is DN 50 i.e NB 2
Therefore,
Le/L = 1.71
Le = 11.97 meters
Hence, Total equivalent length = 19 meters
Calculation of friction factor,
ID of pipe = 52.506 mm
Velocity = 1.6 m/s
Density = 1470 kg/cu.mtr
Viscosity = 0.4 cP = 0.0004 Pa.s
Nre = 308736
Roughness factor for pipe, episilon = 0.025
Darcy Friction factor,f = 0.018
Pressure drop = f. (L/ID).(V2/2g) = 0.018 X (19/0.0525) X (sqr1.6/2X9.8)
=0.851 mLC
Total Head = 7+0.851 = 8 mLC
Neglecting the losses in suction line and positive suction head,
Pump shutoff head can be estimated as 30% plus above value.
Therefore, Pump shutoff head = 8 X 1.3 = 10.4 meters.
Pump shutoff pressure = Pump Shutoff head X Density X g = 10.4 X 1470 X 9.8
= 149822.4 Pa
