    Siphon

    l have a tank 2m ×2m×2m. So my volume is 8m3. l want to be able to to siphon the liquid at 16m3/h, using it as a purge line for my hotwell. l could have installed a pipe and a valve at a bottom of the tank, but the problem this will need a shutdown. My question is there any equation to calculate...

    Estimating steam consumption on a steam distillation column/ deodorizer

    We use sparging steam fo agitation and stripping in a deodorizer column. Is there a way l can calculate steam consumption of the continuous deodorization column. We use superheated steam, we superheat saturated steam from boiler house using thermic fluid in a superheater. Attached is a schematic...

    Pressure drop vs volumetric flowrate

    l saw this article on LinkedIn, and applying this theory to practical, didn't add up. The way we reduce flowrate to a vessel, either for a liquid or steam is by restricting flow, increasing pressure drop and resulting in a lower flowrate downstream of the valve. ln this case it seems, for liquid...

    Pipe inlet design

    Goodday. l have a vessel heating edible oil using thermic fluid through a heating coil. The inlet of the thermal fluid the pipeline is looped, l was wondering whats the purpose of looping. See attachment!

    mixing ratios in a batch process

    Goodday. What is the minimum mixing ratio in a batch process? Say l have a 10 000L of crude oil and l want to add 0.1% phosphoric to the oil. To what volume should l dilute my acid to get effective mixing in a batch mixer? l figured if l mix 10L of acid to 10 000L of oil is too much of a volume...

    pump and motor

    Goodday, l have a pump rated 5 5KW/2900rpm and l plugged 3.7kw/ 2875rpm motor. Will this damage the motor or pump?

    Flowrate in a valve

    Goodday. Does a valve reduce volumetric flowrate. l ask because we use valves to reduce flowrate, but according to valve software, only pressure drop will be realized, but flowrate will not be affected. See attachment. Thanks

    Steam consumption

    Goodday, l want to measure steam consumption(stripping steam) of a deodorizer. l dont have a flowmeter or a nozzle, just a pressure gauge. Please find attached the schematic of my problem.

    Non return valve

    Goodday, Does a non return valve have a valve flow coefficient? l want to calculate mass flowrate of steam through a non-return valve. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

    motor

    goodday, my plant flow diagram state l require 10HP compressor. Does it mean any 10HP compressor will work or l need further information?

    Pump selection

    Goodday, l have the following PFD and it says l want 5hp pump, does this refer to the pump itself or motor? lts P601-A
