A lean oil is to be used as the absorbing medium for removing a component of a gas. As part of the design for the absorption unit, It is necessary to estimate the size of the pump (in terms of capacity - head factor) and the cost to deliver the oil to the top of the absorber. The oil must be pumped from a closed tank with a liquid level of 2m above the floor and forced through a 50 m pipe length of 0.05m internal diameter. There are three 90° elbows in the line (each with equivalent length of 2.5m) and the top of the absorber is 15m above the floor level. The operating pressure in the absorber is 500KN/m while that of the tank is 150 KN/m. The oil requirement is to be 0.50m/min, viscosity is 1.5 N.s/m, and the density is 800 Kg/m' (1) Sketch the process (I) Determine the pump (i) Estimate the cost of the pump given that a similar pump with capacity- head factor of 20 m/min-m costs $25,000 head

Transcribed Image Text:A lean oil is to be used as the absorbing medium for removing a component of a gas. As part of the
design for the absorption unit, it is necessary to estimate the size of the pump (in terms of capacity-
head factor) and the cost to deliver the oil to the top of the absorber. The oil must be pumped from a
closed tank with a liquid level of 2m above the floor and forced through a 50 m pipe length of 0,05m
internal diameter. There are three 90° elbows in the line (each with equivalent length of 2.5m) and the
top of the absorber is 15m above the floor level. The operating pressure in the absorber is 500KN/m
while that of the tank is 150 KN/m. The oil requirement is to be 0.50m/min, viscosity is 1.5 N.s/m', and
the density is 800 Kg/m
