A fuel oil is pumped from a distillation column to two storage tanks. Each tank services a different section of the plant. The pipe contracts from a 500 mm diameter (A) to a 300 mm diameter (B) pipe, and then branches into a two pipe sections, leading to the storage tanks, i.e. one 200 mm (C) diameter and the other, 230 mm diameter (D). The velocity of the fluid exiting the column is 2 m.s-1 and the velocity the fluid exiting the 230 mm pipe is 3 m.s-1 . Calculate the discharges at the exit of both pipes (C and D), and the velocities at the entrance of the branch node (B) and the exit of the 200 mm pipe (C)? A, B, C and can be taken as points in the pipeline system.

Question
A fuel oil is pumped from a distillation column to two storage tanks. Each tank services a different
section of the plant. The pipe contracts from a 500 mm diameter (A) to a 300 mm diameter (B)
pipe, and then branches into a two pipe sections, leading to the storage tanks, i.e. one 200 mm (C)
diameter and the other, 230 mm diameter (D). The velocity of the fluid exiting the column is 2
m.s-1 and the velocity the fluid exiting the 230 mm pipe is 3 m.s-1 .
Calculate the discharges at the
exit of both pipes (C and D), and the velocities at the entrance of the branch node (B) and the exit
of the 200 mm pipe (C)? A, B, C and can be taken as points in the pipeline system.
