Chesterfield currently uses 11,400 m³/d (average flow) of water which is drawn from a storage reservoir. Historically, the minimum flow (i.e., winter) used on a daily basis is 25% of the average. The peak daily flow (i.e., summer) is 230% of average. The intake for the treatment plant is located in a tower and it is desired to have a velocity of 0.15 m/s through the inlet port under average conditions. What is the required open area (in m²) of the inlet port under average flow conditions? b. What is the velocity of water through the port under minimum and maximum flow conditions? If the area is susceptible to freezing conditions in the winter, would ice formation on the inlet port be a concern? Justify your response quantitatively. d. What would be the maximum winter flow that could be obtained using the port size obtained in part (a) above? а. с.

Consider a pumping system used in a cooling water loop. Water is drawn from a tank, which maintains a height of 2 m of water. It then enters the pump and then passes through the process heat exchanger, where it is heated. The water is then cooled back to cooling water temperature using a chiller (another heat exchanger). Finally, water exits the chiller and is circulated back to the original tank, forming a closed loop. All equipment is at ground level. All pipe in the system is 2-inch schedule 40, commercial steel pipe.

A portion of the cooling surface is screened from the incoming steam and the air is passes over these screened tubes to the air extraction and becomes cooled below the condensate temperature. The condenser receives 20 000kg/hr of dry saturated steam at 36.2°C. At the condensate outlet the temperature is 34.6°C TK and at the air extraction the temperature is 29°C.
