It is important to realize that a seal assembly with a diaphragm is also a thermometer, since it is full of liquid and the volume of the liquid varies with temperature. Keeping the thermometer volume low by using capillary tubing reduces the instrument's response rate, but reduces the...
What is the flow in this bottom stream?
R: 240 Ton/h
And why is the pH so low? Has this water been de-gassed?
R: The bottom stream it is recirculated to the Saturator. A part of this stream it is Blowdown. The pH is Low, because the stream it has not been de-gaseed yet.
Water entering the...
In terms of heat input into the water all you need to do is find the shaft power at whatever flow rate you want to study, find the pump's efficiency at that flow rate and then assume conservatively that all of the inefficiency goes into heating up the water.
