Discussion Topic




Review the system diagram below. This discussion requires you to assess the loss of energy within the system. Once you have reviewed the diagram, answer the discussion questions below.







industrial system 1 consists of an inlet pipe to a piston pump A to a globe valve 1 to an elbow to a vertical pipe run (2m) to an elbow to motor 1 (used to drive an external device elsewhere) to the top of a collection tank for mixing (open to atmosphere)<br><br>industrial system 2 consists of a suction line off the bottom of the tank to an elbow to globe valve 2 to an impeller pump B to globe valve 3 (for sampling) to globe valve 3 to a tee which is controlled by a butterfly valve which delivers part of the flow to a 2nd processing system and the other part to globe valve 5 and industrial system 3 which include pump C for processing (11m elevation)








In your original post, answer the following:







  • For Industrial Systems 1 and 2, identify each area or component of the system where energy can be lost or energy can be added to the system.



  • Discuss why the loss or addition occurs.



  • Thoroughly discuss why the loss or addition occurs throughout both systems.



  • Discuss how you would design a system similar to the fictitious one presented for this discussion thread that would have fewer energy loss areas without losing any functionality.

The Industrial System 1 comprises of
1. Pump A
Energy is added to the fluid to overawed friction losses in the p
ipes, fittings and valves
Energy is added to raise the water level by 2m
Energy lost in the Pump and drive motor because of the efficiencies of Pump and Motor.
Power given to the Pump in W
= (Flow in cubm/s*density of fluid* head of the Pump*g) / (efficiency of motor* efficiency of Pump)
Pw=Q * ρ * g * H/ ȵ
2. Motor
Motor delivers the energy to run an external device in another location
3. Valve 1
Valve is used to stop or adjust the flow in the pipe and here heat is lost
hf =K* V2/2g
K= Loss factor V= fluid velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity
4. Pipe
Pipes are used for transporting the fluid to the desired points, here also energy is lost
hf = (f * L/d) * V2/2g
f= friction factor, L =Length of pipe; d= diameter of pipe
V= fluid Velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity
5. Elbows
Elbows used for changing the direction of flow by 90 ͦ
Here, energy lost due to friction and change of direction
hf =K* V2/2g
6.Velocity head is lost during delivery of fluid to open tank with loss of energy and...
