Answer / m.elangovan

NPSH = Hp + HZ – Hvp – Hf

Hp = Absolute pressure at surface of liquid
in ft
Hz = Height in ft of liquid above or below
centerline of pump.
Hvp = Vapor pressure head of liquid in ft.
Hf = Friction loss head between surface of
liquid & pump
suction pipeline in ft.
NPSH = Net Positive Suction Head in ft.
NPSHa = NPSH available + of the system.
NPSHr = NPSH required + by pump manufacturer.
NPSHa > NPSHr
As good engineering practice provide NPSHa-NPSHr = 1.5
m of liquid.

Answer / lokesh singh

above answer is quite good but ,Hvp is vapor pressure of
pumping fluid at the fluid temperature in the suction line.

secondly Hf is the friction losses from the outlet of the
suction side liquid holding tank to the eye of the pump
impeller.

For a centrifugal pump if the pump is running and we close the discharge valve what is the effect

MASS TRANSFER - EXAMPLE 4.2 : In a non-dilute absorber, graphical method is used to represent the process. In an X - Y coordinate system, X-axis represents mole of carbon dioxide / mole of water and Y axis represents mole of carbon dioxide / mole of nitrogen. The inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % of carbon dioxide in nitrogen. (a) Find the S / G minimum as a slope that goes through the point (0, 0.0304) and (0.0000488, 0.086957). (b) Find the actual slope of operating line when it is 1.5 times the S / G minimum! (c) Find the value of x for inlet gas stream when y = 1640 x, y is mole fraction of carbon dioxide in nitrogen.

ENGINEERING MATERIAL - EXAMPLE 12.1 : In crystal material, hexagonal crystal system could form 4-digit index in certain direction of solid. For [1(-1)0] direction in the hexagonal crystal systems of particular catalyst applied in fume removal of incinerator, what is the four-digit index for this direction? Hint : The transformation equations between the 3-digit [h'k'l'] and the 4-digit [hkil] indices are : h = (1/3) (2h'-k'); i = - (h + k); k = (1/3) (2k'-h'); l = l' A. [(-1)100] B. [1(-1)00] C. [(-1)000] D. [00(-1)(-1)] E. [(-1)0(-1)0]
