Verification Case 58

View Model     Problem Statement

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 89.8
Power usage case B (hp) 90.2 89.8
Power usage case C (hp) 90.2 89.8

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.
