Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem with a system I've been analyzing these past few days. Please see attached images. The system consists of a tank feeding to 3 centrifugal pumps (pumps are at an elevation below -5m of the tank foundation). These 3 pumps rated at 576cu.m/hr discharge 12 loading...
Hello comrades,
I have 2 questions.
1. I'd wanted to know. How is life span of a welded storage tank factored into the calculation of the shell plate thickness according to API 650
2. I discovered quiet recently that shell plates that were stored in the open and had been sandblasted...
Hello guys,
Please I need some assistance on how to model a 12" bitumen pipeline heat traced with a 1/2" pipeline as shown in the attached image on Caesar II. I am particularly used to modelling and analysing single pipe systems but this has somewhat become a challenge for me. I will...
Hello guys,
My company intends on undertaking API 653 tank inspection on our above ground storage tanks and I have been tasked to draw up a tentative schedule for the intended activity. I will be grateful if anyone could send me a sample for reference. Thanks in advance.
Hello guys,
I need your urgent help with this. I need to design a cantilever sliding mechanism for a gate weighing 1000kg moving across a distance of 15m for both opening and closing sequence. Will be grateful if i get some literature or a sample design to guide me to selecting the...
Hello guys,
I'd be glad if you can help me with this. For some time now, I have been observing that our mechanical pumps casing have been heating up whenever they are in operation. These pumps are 3 in number and are always operated in parallel. They can either be operated using...
Dear guys,
A recent project was undertaken and I was asked to review the design of the pumping system and determine if it was appropriate or not. I determined the various parameters and came up with a graphical representation of the system resistance curve superimposed on the curve of...
Hi guys,
I need to find the inlet head losses and exit head losses for a pump rated at 140m3/hr at 62m. Can you please provide the formula for obtaining these losses.
* the inlet size is 4"
* the exit size is 3"
Hi guys,
I've been pondering over this for a while now. We have 4 pumps connected in parallel. Each pump is connected to a 12" suction manifold by 4" pipelines. 12" pipelines from the tanks are connected to the 12" manifold to supply gasoline to the pumps. Each pump has an NPSHr of 4m...
Hello Guys,
I am undertaking a project. This involves representing the entire oil terminal facility in which I work in 3D drawing. My main challenge has to do with drawing a spiral staircase around a horizontal storage tank. Can you please bail me out please!!!!
Thanks
