. Itis proposed to pump 10,000 kg/h of toluene at 114°C and 1.1 atm abs pressure from the reboiler of a distillation tower to a second distillation unit without cooling the toluene before it enters the pump. If the friction loss in the line between the reboiler and pump is 7 kN/m? and the density of toluene is 866 kg/m³, how far above the pump must the liquid level in the reboiler be maintained to give a net positive suction head of 2.5m? Answer:3.4m above pump

4. It is proposed to pump 10,000 kg/h of toluene at 114°C and 1.1 atm abs pressure from the reboiler of a distillation tower
to a second distillation unit without cooling the toluene before it enters the pump. If the friction loss in the line between
the reboiler and pump is 7 kN/m? and the density of toluene is 866 kg/m2, how far above the pump must the liquid level
in the reboiler be maintained to give a net positive suction head of 2.5m?
Answer:3.4m above pump
