We are interested in pumping biodiesel between two pumping stations that are 300 km apart, being the second pumping station 300 m higher than the first one. We need a flow rate of 0.7 m/s using a 30 in i.d. commercial steel pipe. The pressure at the first station is 120 kPa and at the second stations it needs to be 350 kPa. Considering a kinematic viscosity for biodiesel of 4.09 x10 - 5 m²/s and a density of 874.6 kg/m?, determine the power required to pump the biodiesel from station 1 to station 2. Assume the flow is fully developed.

Question

We are interested in pumping biodiesel between two pumping stations that are 300 km
apart, being the second pumping station 300 m higher than the first one. We need a flow
rate of 0.7 m/s using a 30 in i.d. commercial steel pipe. The pressure at the first station is
120 kPa and at the second stations it needs to be 350 kPa. Considering a kinematic
viscosity for biodiesel of 4.09 x10 - 5 m²/s and a density of 874.6 kg/m?, determine the
power required to pump the biodiesel from station 1 to station 2. Assume the flow is fully
developed.

The system consists of: 1. Stainless steel pipes with a diameter of 5 cm and a total length of 200 meters. 2. Four control valves distributed throughout the system. 3. Two centrifugal pumps in series, each with an efficiency of 80%. Over the past few weeks, a pressure of 20 bar has been recorded at the inlet of the first pump, but only 15 bar at the outlet of the second pump. Furthermore, the flow rate has decreased from 10 m³/h to 7 m³/h. It has been noted that one of the control valves is showing signs of wear and may not be functioning properly. Calculates the pressure loss in the system, taking into account the length of the pipes, the material, the valves and the pumps.
