<title>Recommended Fluid Velocity</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32442-recommended-fluid-velocity/</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div>I am interested in the recommended velocity in liquid pipelines. API 14 in table 2.3 states for suction line 2-3 ft/s and discharge 6-9 ft/s for centrifugal pumps. But my question is about pipeline pumping light naphtha, if the same figgers are applicable or not, as it is volatile liquid.</div>
<div>Somewhere I read it should be between 0.9-1.8 m/s. Is there a source for this recommendation somewhere? Thanks</div>

<title>Flow Through Normally No Flow Line</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32439-flow-through-normally-no-flow-line/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, <br>
I am doing hydraulic calculation by using number of tee branch/tee straight from isometric drawing. However, I am not sure about flow through normally no flow line e.g. branch to drain line, inlet of PSV, line with NC/LC valves, bypass line of control valve. <br>
My question is that I have to count tee straight for flow through normally no flow line or not.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance.]]></description>

<title>Tank Inlet Diffuser Length</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32437-tank-inlet-diffuser-length/</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Good day, <br>
<br>
I was task to calculate Inlet Diffuser for a tank. Upon calculation, I concluded on having 28 diffuser slot to maximize flow efficiency (0.976 m/s) which must be close to 1. However, the total length recommended is around 5700 mm which is more than 30% of tank diameter based on standard practice. <br>
Tank Diameter= 10m<br>
Inlet size= DN150, SCH40<br>
Max fill rate= 470 m3/hr <br>
<br>
My question is whether is okay to exceed standard practice (not regulation) to maximize the infuser flow, or are there any standard which can be serve as basis of the calculation. Tried browsing on API650 but there is nothing about diffuser length<br>
</p>

The system includes a 8 m³/hr transfer pump that moves ammonia from the storage area to the processing block.

<ol>
<li>
<p><span>Vapor Generation in Suction Line</span>: The transfer lines are exposed to solar radiation, leading to an increase in temperature. This exposure results in vapor generation within the suction line during pump operation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Heating of Suction Lines (2" line size)</span>: Suction lines are getting heated due to solar radiation, exacerbating the vapor generation issue.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Pump Starvation</span>: Despite checking and confirming that the pump suction strainer is in good condition, we are experiencing pump starvation during the afternoon hours. This leads to a complete cessation of material flow during the transfer process.</p>

<title>Liquid Liquid Separator Sizing</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32422-liquid-liquid-separator-sizing/</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am currently designing a liquid-liquid separator for a mixture of FFA-glycerine with methanol. The process is as follows: the crude glycerine is sent to a process called acidification, where impurities, especially MONG, are removed by adding acid. After acidification, the mixture is sent to a decanter, where it separates into a layer of FFA-glycerine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At this stage, I am designing the separator but am feeling a bit lost, particularly when it comes to assuming the properties to be used. I also have doubts about some of the values I’ve already calculated. As someone new to the industry and a recent graduate, I am reaching out for your help and expertise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Attached is the work I have already started.</p>

<title>Discussion - Predict Storage Tank Heat Transfer Precisely By Jimmy D K</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am try to use the calculation method defined in the paper published by Jimmy D Kumana and Samir P Kothari to Predict Storage tank heat transfer precisely. </p>
<p>Here is the link of a post in this forum -</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href='https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/9066-storage-tank-heat-loss-calculation-based-on-kumana-and-kothari-article/' class='bbc_url' title=''>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/9066-storage-tank-heat-loss-calculation-based-on-kumana-and-kothari-article/</a></p>
<p><a href='https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/28427-natural-convection-heat-transfer-coefficient-inside-storage-tanks/' class='bbc_url' title=''>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/28427-natural-convection-heat-transfer-coefficient-inside-storage-tanks/</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>is it possible to use this calculation method with a vertical, outside, atmospheric storage tank with an agitator, which adds forced convection component in the calculation.</p>
<p>Will it be correct to replace the Natural convection parts in the calculation with a forced convection?</p>
<p>here are some articles showing how to calculate the inside heat transfer coefficient of tank with an agitator. </p>

<title>Resistance K Of Reducers</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32410-resistance-k-of-reducers/</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,<br>
I have a question regarding the resistance <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values for reducers and enlargers, as the calculated values appear to be excessively high.</p>
<p>Based on my research, I found that there are three commonly referenced sources for resistance <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>1. Crane</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2. 3K-Method</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>3. API 521</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Among these, the Crane and 3K-Method approaches tend to produce very high <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values, which result in significant pressure drops.<br>
In contrast, although the <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values from <strong>API 521</strong> are quite low, they are similar to the <strong>exit and entrance <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values</strong> found in <strong>Crane</strong>.</p>
<p>Additionally, I am unsure whether the resistance <span><span><span><span>K</span></span></span></span> values represent <strong>only frictional losses</strong>, or if they also account for <strong>losses due to changes in pipe diameter</strong> (i.e., expansion or contraction effects).</p>
<p>I am currently performing discharge line sizing in order to calculate the backpressure.</p>
<p>Could you please clarify this?</p>

<title>Minimize Particles Carryover In Reduction Autoclave</title>
<link>https://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/32390-minimize-particles-carryover-in-reduction-autoclave/</link>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Guys,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to discuss about different methods on reducing solids carryover in our reduction autoclave. </p>
<p>Particle size distribution: 100 to 350 US mesh. </p>
<p>Allowed particle settling time: 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Discharge pressure: 1500 kpag to an atmospheric tank</p>
<p>Discharge line size: 1-1/2". </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Question is: methods to reduce solids carryover through discharge. </p>
<p>I have a few ideas: 1. increase settling time, 2. decrease discharge pressure, 3. design a riser at the discharge</p>
<p>Simple drawing is attached.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,</p>
