I am a bit confused with terms that define the capacity of a reciprocating compressor. While mostly the compressors are specified in terms of FAD (standard or actual), some manufactures specify compressor capacity at a certain pressure. Is the pressure referred above the maximum discharge...
I am calculating the pressure drop for my viscous liquid flow application.
The flow regime is laminar and I have 1 Ball valve, 1 tee and 5 Elbows in my line.
I need some help on following queries:
1. Is Darcy 3K method the best method for estimating the minor losses in laminar flow regime...
I am in the process of deciding the AOD pump specification for charging a liquid from a 200 lit barrel to a 7500 lit vessel. The feed port on the vessel is at a height of 4 m from floor level. The liquid is viscous (viscosity: 6500 cp) in nature and pipeline size employed for transfer is 1.5”...
