In Problem 5.13.1, what throughputs can be achieved when pumping gasoline alone? Use a specific gravity of 0.74 and viscosity of 0.65 for gasoline at the flowing temperature. Compare the pump head requirements when pumping diesel versus gasoline. Use the Hazen-Williams equation with a Cfactor of 145.
Problem 5.13.1
A pipeline 50 miles long, 16 in. outside diameter, 0.250 in. wall thickness is constructed of API 5LX-65 material. It is used to transport diesel and other refined products from the refinery at Carson to a storage tank at Compton. During phase I, a flow rate of 5000 bbl/hr of diesel fuel is to be transported with one pump station located at Carson. The required delivery pressure at Compton is 50 psi. Assume a generally rolling pipeline elevation profile….
