Question

A control valve is used to manipulate a liquid flowrate in the flowrate control loop. Figure 2 shows the flow characteristic of the control valve.
Determine the following:


i. Type of flow characteristic of the control valve.
ii. Flowrate through the valve if the valve travel is 45%. Noted that the flowrate of the liquid is 70 000 lb/h when the valve is fully opened.
iii. The maximum flow coefficient of the control valve, if the density of the liquid is half of the density of water and the pressure drop across the valve is 10 psi.
