Verification Case 58
PRODUCT: AFT Fathom
TITLE: FthVerify58.fth
REFERENCE: Nicholas P. Chopey, Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, 1994, McGraw-Hill, Page 6-41, 46, Example 6-21
FLUID: Water
ASSUMPTIONS: Assume water at 70 deg. F.
RESULTS:
| Parameter | Chopey | AFT Fathom |
| Head rise case A (feet) | 125 | 124.4 |
| Head rise case B (feet) | 125 | 124.4 |
| Head rise case C (feet) | 125 | 124.4 |
| Power usage case A (hp) | 90.2 | 89.7 |
| Power usage case B (hp) | 90.2 | 89.7 |
| Power usage case C (hp) | 90.2 | 89.7 |
DISCUSSION:
The hydraulic loss data used by Chopey is based on equivalent length. All equivalent lengths were converted to K values and included as a fitting and loss value in the pipe or as custom entrance/exit loss factors at the tanks.
