12 Specification of feed water pump:

Given:
Steam generation (MCR) - 220,000 lb/hr
(This is upgraded capacity)
Steam drum pressure - 280 psia
Pressure loss due to economizer - 15 psi
Pump suction line size - 6
Pump discharge line size - 5

a) Volume required = total capacity required/density
where:
density = 1/specific volume @ 250F
= 1/0.017001
= 58.82 lb/cu.ft
MCR - 220,000 lb/hr
+ 10% for emergency make - 22,000 lb/hr
+ 10% for exceptional load 1 hr - 22,000 lb/hr
+ 5% for blow downs - 11,000 lb/hr
Total capacity required - 275,000 lb/hr


Volume required = 275,000 lb/hr 58.82 lb/cu.ft
Volume required = 4,675 cu.ftr
= 2.208 cu.mmin
b) Head required:
i) Suction Head
Velocity head = ; 2g
were:
; = ;olume flow area

= 6.6 ft8ec
Velocity head = (6.6)(6.6) / 2 (32.2)
= 0.676 ft
Static head = 25 ft
Friction loss= loss due to 2 valves, 3 pc. 90
elbows, 50 ft of 6 pipes.
- 2 valves fully open - 1m X 2
- 3 90 elbow - 2m x 3
- 60 ft of 6 pipe - 18m
Total equivalent length- 28m
= 2 f L ; g D
(eq. 14-10 p.605 Power Plant
Eng'g by Morse MKS Units)
where:
f = coefficient of friction
0.424
= 0.0035+0.0007562(zDVS)
(eq 14-13 p.605 Power Plant
Eng'g by Morse MKS Units)
z = 0.1850 centipoise for
water at 121C as
extrapolated from Table
14-8 Viscosities p. 606
Power Plant by Morse)
D = pipe ID, 6 or 0.152 m
V = ;elocity at 8uction
= 6.6 ft8ec, 2 m8ec
S = 8pecific gra;ity @ 121C
= 58.82/62.4
= 0.943
Substitute variables in equation for f,
f = 0.00412
Then, substitute variables in equation for Friction loss,
Friction loss = 2 f L ; g D
= 0.625 m or 2 ft

Suction ead = 25 ft - 0.676 ft - 2.05 ft
= 22.274 ft

ii) Discharge head
o Velocity head= ; 2g
where:
; = ;olume flowarea
4,675 cu.ft/hr(4)144(1)hr
=
n (5) ft2 (3600) sec
= 9.5 ft8ec
Then, velocity head = 1.4 ft

o Pressure head= drum pressure x 2.31/sp. grav.
where:
drum pressure = 280 psi
sp. grav. = 2 1
= 58.82/62.4
= 0.943
Pressure head= 280 x 2.31 / 0.943
= 685.89 ft

o Static head = 35 ft (estimated)
o Friction loss= losses due to
3 valves (full open)- 1m x 3
1 valve (3/4 open) - 7m x 1
8 90 elbow - 3m x 8
130 ft of 5 pipe - 40m
Total equivalent length- 34m

= 2 f L ; g D
(eq. 14-10 p.605 Power Plant
Eng'g by Morse MKS Units)
where:
f = coefficient of friction
0.424
= 0.0035+0.0007562(zDVS)
(eq 14-13 p.605 Power Plant
Eng'g by Morse MKS Units)
z = 0.1850 centipoise for
water at 121C as
extrapolated from Table
14-8 Viscosities p. 606
Power Plant by Morse)
D = pipe ID, 5 or 0.127 m
V = ;elocity at 8uction
= 9.5 ft8ec, 2.89 m8ec
S = 8pecific gra;ity @ 121C
= 58.82/62.4
= 0.943
Substitute variables in equation for f,
f = 0.004079
Then, substitute variables in equation for Friction loss,
Friction loss = 2 f L ; g D
= 1.88 m or 6 ft

Discharge head = 685.9 ft + 1.4 ft + 6 ft
= 693.3 ft
Then, Head required = Discharge head - Suction Head
= 693.3 ft - 22.274 ft
= 671 ft or 204.5 m

c) Power requirement = Q dw H / 4,500,000 ()
where:
Q = 2,208 lmin (liter8min)
dw = 943 kgcu.m
H = 204.5 m
= 0.90 (motor efficiency)
2,208 x 943 x 204.5
Power requirement = Hp
4,500,000 x 0.9 x 0.70
= 150 Hp, 8ay 200 Hp


d) But the actual pump rating is:
GPM (Boiler rating) - 400
GPM (Installed capacity) - 472
Rated head - 878 ft
RPM - 3,600
Hp (Turbine driven) - 190
HP (Electric motor) - 250
Single stage Worthington, single suction with
auto leak off non return valve at the discharge.
