A Process fluid is pumped from the bottom of one distillation column to another, using a centrifugal pump. The line is a standard commercial steel pipe with a 75 mm internal diameter. From the column to the pump inlet the line is 25 m long and contains six standard elbows and a fully open gate valve From the pump outlet to the second column, the line is 250 m long and contains ten standard elbows, and four gate valves (operated fully open). The fluid level in the first column is 4 m above the pump inlet. The feed point of the second column is 6 m above the pump inlet. The operating pressure in the first column is 1.05 bara and that of the second column is 0.3 barg. (i) Draw the system, (ii) determine the operating point on the pump characteristic curve. (iii) determine the NPSH at this flowrate. The physical properties of the fluid are: density 875 kg/m³, viscosity 1.46 mNs.m², and vapour pressure of the fluid at the pump suction is 25 kN/m².

Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
