I am a bit confused with terms that define the capacity of a reciprocating compressor. While mostly the compressors are specified in terms of FAD (standard or actual), some manufactures specify compressor capacity at a certain pressure. Is the pressure referred above the maximum discharge...
I am calculating the pressure drop for my viscous liquid flow application.
The flow regime is laminar and I have 1 Ball valve, 1 tee and 5 Elbows in my line.
I need some help on following queries:
1. Is Darcy 3K method the best method for estimating the minor losses in laminar flow regime...
Thanks for all your valid comments.
The liquid which I am trying to lift is usually supplied in 220 Lit MS drums by the manufacturer.
There are two ports on the top side : feed port ( ID: around 54 mm) and vent port
Due to the limitation on the feed port size, I am unable to increase my...

Thanks all for your suggestions. I am herewith attaching the approximate line diagram of my system and characteristic curve of the pump selected for your valuable suggestions:
Application:
The manufactures supplies the viscous liquid in 200 lit MS drums. Our application is to blend the liquid...
I am in the process of deciding the AOD pump specification for charging a liquid from a 200 lit barrel to a 7500 lit vessel. The feed port on the vessel is at a height of 4 m from floor level. The liquid is viscous (viscosity: 6500 cp) in nature and pipeline size employed for transfer is 1.5”...
