Solution

Some notes
-

= if just one of both mentioned


= =

1- Calculate the Diameters ( , , )


-

() = . . ( ) . . (. )
() = . . ( ) . . (. )
Where S is the specific gravity
= 2.63 10.33
From tables
= 12
= 11.93
= 12.75
= 0.406

2- Calculate the velocity to get Reynold num and specify the type of the flow
-

( ) =

() =

= 0.963 3.16

NOTE: to have a suitable flow (turbulent) the velocity should be between

< <
< <
Turbulent flow is required to minimize through the line

3- Calculate Reynold

( ) () ()
(.)

> 4000 the flow is turbulent


< 2000 the flow is laminar
2000 < < 4000 the flow is transition.

= 25680 the flow is turbulent


4- From moddy chart using and relative roughness (e) we get (F) to calculate
the total head pressure.

- =

()

= .
= 0.0275

5- Calculate the total head pressure.


-

(. ) = + + +

- (. ) =
-

() ()
( ) ()

= .

- =
-

= 685 .
= 103 .
= 100 .
= 940 .

( ) =

= 82.72 . 2

() = . (. )
= 1216

6- Calculate the horse power produced by the pressure to check if the thickness
would resist the pressure.

- =
- =

( )( ) ()

( )( ) ()

Where = . .
= 1094.17
= 1200 ()

NOTE:
-

= .
= . =

7- Calculate by substituting by in the next equation

- =

() ()

= 21 103 (young modulus)

= 0.75
= 0.125

(melding efficiency)
(corrosion allowance)

- ( ) = ( )

= 742

- ( ) = . ( )
= 0.9 742 = 668

NOTE: in that case the line cannot resist the pressure applied so we will divide the
line into parts then use pumps to support the required pressure .
8- Calculate the number of sections the line will be divided into.

- . =

( )

= 2.7 3
9- Calculate the distance at which the pumps will be placed

- = .

= 940
