Answer / logu
If the pump suction pressure is low the temperature of the
bfw gets reduced and result in cavitation.

Answer / zeeshan ch
water will boil out inside the pump cassing due to very low
pressure zone & high temp of the water itself , boiled
bubble will start to make cavities of compressible fluid ,
resulting in pump status as cavitation

Answer / neeraj dhar
whjerever the suction side flow is lower than the discharge
then it will lead to starvation of the pump and hence lead
to cavitation. thas the reasopn the pipe suction side of
the pump are usually one side larger then the discharge
side of trhe pum;p

Answer / vse
Boiler feed pump minimum suction pressure depends on its operating feed water temperature. At any case the feed water temperature should not over take the saturation point corresponding to its living pressure.
some time there is sudden collapse of pressure in the deaerator due to interlocks / protection , to over come this pump is generally given sufficient NPSH by position.

Answer / siva chukka
If a BFW suction pressure low,boiling point of water decrease,at a temperature water convert into vapour inside casing ,pump head is decreased is called cavitation
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 1 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / murali
the pumps will trip on protection. cavitation and charling
in discharge end will take place.

Answer / kalaisankar
temprature of the boiler increases due to decrease in
water level in the boiler .

Hi.. Me going to tke test for management trainee(technical) Post I am an chemical engineering student . Can u guide how to prepare for this test.Can u send me test paper pattern..?
pls send me model paper of NPCIL for executive trainee. and syllabus of executive trainee 2015.
UNIT OPERATION - EXAMPLE 9.2 : A distillation column separates 10000 kg / hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene and toluene. The product D recovered from the condenser at the top of the column contains 95 % benzene, and the bottom W from the column contains 96 % toluene. The vapor V entering the condenser from the top of the column is 8000 kg / hr. A portion of the product from the condenser is returned to the column as reflux R, and the rest is withdrawn as the final product D. Assume that V, R, and D are identical in composition since V is condensed completely. Find the ratio of the amount refluxed R to the product withdrawn D. Hint : Solve the simultaneous equations as follow in order to find the answer (R / D) : 10000 = D + W; 10000 (0.5) = D (0.95) + W (0.04); 8000 = R + D.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.34 : A biochemical engineering company has stock P = 20,000 shares of M % preferred stock of Q = $100 par and N number of shares of $20 par common stock. In year 1 : $10,000 is distributed as dividend. In year 2 : $25,000 is distributed as dividend. Let (Total Dividend) = (Dividend for Preferred Stock) + (Dividend for Common Stock). (a) In year 1, calculate the amount distributed as dividend for preferred stock, when no dividend was distributed for common stock. (b) In year 2, the amount distributed for common stock was $5000. Find the values of M and N, when the dividend per share for common stock is $0.05.

BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 14.2 : An aqueous solution with 2.5 g of a protein dissolved in 600 cubic centimeters of a solution at 20 degree Celsius was placed in a container that has a water-permeable membrane. Water permeated through the membrane until the h - level of the solution was 0.9 cm above the pure water. (a) Calculate the absolute temperature of the solution, T in Kelvin, where T (Kelvin) = T (degree Celsius) + 273.15. (b) Calculate the osmotic pressure, P of the solution by using the formula P = hrg where h is level of the solution, r is density of water with 1000 kg per cubic meter, g = 9.81 N / kg as gravitational acceleration. (c) Calculate the concentration of the protein solution, C in kg / cubic meter. (d) Calculate the molecular weight of the protein, (MW) = CRT / P where R = 8.314 Pa cubic meter / (mol K) as ideal gas constant.
