Description

Given the schematic diagram below of a proposed pump loop:

1. Design the piping system to handle the corresponding pressure drop of the design. The given design point of this system (Q*) is to be capable of overcoming the pressure drop of the system that includes a 100 psi pressure drop in the test section at a flow rate of 700 gpm (a plot of the pressure drop as a function of flow rate is given below). The flow velocity should not exceed 15 ft/s. Schedule 40 steel pipe is to be used.

As part of the deliverable for this problem, include:

• A layout of your piping design (in P&ID format)
• Verification of maximizing efficiency and minimizing the power to the pump. Use the Bell and Gossett selection charts (link below) and compare at least two different pumps. Include the charts in your report.
• A table of loss coefficients (K values) for all fittings & components for the pump chosen.
Remember you need to match inlet and exit diameters and type (flanged, screwed, etc).
• Information needed to find and verification of the pipe friction factor (via coded equations).
• Adequate references for all values (e.g., fluid properties, K values, etc.)
• Adequate calculated proof demonstrating that your design meets the requirements.

Use of computer tools (SW, Matlab, Maple, Excel, Engineering Toolbox, etc) is required for the project. No hand sketches. Include any programs developed.

Summarize your design in a memo report. Provide proof of your design validity (i.e. calculations using Matlab or Excel and sample hand calcs to verify code.) and show the system curve relative to the pump performance curve. Your objective should be to maximize efficiency and minimize the power consumption by the pump. Please refer to the grading rubric for required project elements.
