Crude oil (μ = 40 cp, sg = 0.87) is to be pumped from a storage tank to a refinery through a series of pump stations via 10-in, schedule-20, commercialsteel pipeline at a flowrate of 2000 gpm. the pipeline is 50 mi long and contains 35 90° elbows and 10 open gate valves. the pipeline exit is 150 ft higher than the entrance, and the exit pressure is 25 psig. what horsepower is required to drive the pumps if they are 70% efficient?

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.

Select any two (2) areas of applications of chain-drive. (clo4) a)-permanent lubrication necessary b)-hydraulic forklift truck operation c)-rigging and heavy moving materials d)-relatively high maintenance costs e)-costlier than belt drives
