Verification Case 57

View Model     Problem Statement

PRODUCT: AFT Fathom

TITLE: FthVerify57.fth

REFERENCE: Nicholas P. Chopey, Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, 1994, McGraw-Hill, Page 6-5, 11, Example 6-4

FLUID: Kerosene at 65 deg. F

ASSUMPTIONS: No elevation changes. Inlet pressure is 100 psia.

RESULTS:

Parameter	Chopey	AFT Fathom
Pressure drop (psid)	17.3	17.24

DISCUSSION:

The kinematic viscosity of 2.95 cSt was converted to dynamic viscosity, obtaining 0.00161 lbm/ft-s.

No absolute pressure information was provided. It was assumed the inlet pressure was 100 psia. This does not affect the answer.
