Are there any rules of thumb for design of seal legs besides taking into consideration that the height of the system should be larger than the pressure of the system?
I was wondering if any body could lead me to a better understanding of suction lift. I've been able to learn a few concepts from the Cameron Hydraulic Data book, but from what I've seen, the use of a set of centrifugal pumps in parallel we have at the plant is not ideal for this kind of...
Hi,
I've been going through the threads looking for information regarding the mechanism for corrosion of carbon steel piping under chlorinated sulfuric acid (98-96%) service. One of our spools failed (it had a hole in one side inside the pipe and the corrosion was uneven) and I'm trying to...
Hi,
Recently I came across a copy of "Gas-Flow Calculations: Don't Choke from Trey Walters" that describes the behavior compressible fluids undergo as they travel down the line. He describes a series of steps and iterations to carry out in order to come up with an accurate solution to...
Hi,
I am analyzing a system that consists of three identical centrifugal pumps. I am debating weather the pumps are in parallel because the literature indicates that for a series of pumps to be considered in parallel they would have to share a common suction and a common discharge. This is...
