Draw a simple flowchart of a hypothetical oxygen piping system containing the following components:
1 pressure swing adsorption (PSA) generator.
1 compressor to pressurize the oxygen that will be transported in the tubes.
1 storage tank to retain oxygen before use.
1 industrial combustion process to serve as an energy consumer
2 heat exchangers to control the oxygen temperature.
4 pumps to move oxygen through the piping system.
Required quantity of pressure relief valves, flow valves, drains and vents.
I need the answer as soon as possible
Figure 8.18 shows a system used to spray polluted water into the air to increase the water's oxygen content and to cause volatile solvents in the water to vaporize. The pressure at point B just ahead of the nozzle must be 25.0 psig for proper nozzle performance. The pressure at point A (the pump inlet) is -3.50 psig. The volume flow rate is 0.50 ft/s. The dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 4.0 x 105 lbs/ft². The specific gravity of the fluid is 1.026. Compute the power delivered by the pump to the fluid, considering friction energy loss in the discharge line.
