4. A special oil is to be used in an absorption tower. The preliminary design of the unit
requires the oil to be pumped from an open tank with a 10 ft liquid level above the floor and
forced through 150 ft of 3 inches schedule 40 pipe with a ball check valve and 5 elbows into
the top of a tower 30 ft above the floor. The operating pressure in the tower is to be 52 psig
and the oil requirement is estimated at 50 gpm. The viscosity of the oil 15 cP and its density
is 53.5 Ibm/ft. Assuming the pumping outfit operates with an overall efficiency of 60%, what
horsepower input will be required for the pump motor?

- 5. A duct of 0.45 m diameter and 90 m long leads from a fan discharge chamber where the pressure is 15 mm of water to a plenum chamber where the pressure is 10 mm of water. In order to increase the flow, two alternatives are considered. One is to lay a duct of 0.3 m diameter and 90 m long in parallel with the duct of 0.45 m diameter. The other is to increase the diameter of 0.45 m diameter duct for the last 60 m length. Calculate the increased diameter so that this method gives the same flow as the 0.45 m and 0.3 m ducts in parallel. Assume that the pressures in the fan chamber and plenum chamber are unaffected by changes in the flow and consider duct friction losses only. The friction factor may be taken as 0.0o55. 6. A 0.3 m diameter circular duct carries standard air at a velocity of 360 m/min. It is replaced by a rectangular duct having the same pressure loss per unit length due to friction.
