The pump is used to pump water through a run-around coil system which recovers energy from a contaminated extract air stream to preheat fresh air for the supply air stream. The pipe is 65 mm in diameter, total pipe length 130 m, the friction factor y = 0.02 and it contains two gate valves (= 0.2) and ten 90° bends (C=0.35). Assume that the pressure drop through each of the two run around coils may modelled by the equation ΔΡ = and for each coil Kcoil = 3 x10-5. Obtain the flow rate delivered by the pump and the power absorbed. Comment on the velocity in the piping system. Assume water density is 1000 kg/m³. coil

a) The pump is used to pump water through a run-around
coil system which recovers energy from a
contaminated extract air stream to preheat fresh air for
the supply air stream. The pipe is 65 mm in diameter,
total pipe length 130 m, the friction factor y = 0.02
and it contains two gate valves (= 0.2) and ten 90°
bends (-0.35). Assume that the pressure drop through
each of the two run around coils may modelled by the
equation ΔΡ = = (28) ² and for each coil
Kcoil = 3 x10-5. Obtain the flow rate delivered by the
pump and the power absorbed. Comment on the
velocity in the piping system. Assume water density is 1000 kg/m³.

b) If a geometrically similar pump with a 300mm diameter impeller running at 1150 RPM is used
to replace the pump in (a) above, determine the volume which would be delivered and the power
consumed by this pump.
