Liquid chlorine is unloaded from rail tankers into a storage vessel. To provide the necessary
NPSH, the transfer pump is placed in a pit below ground level. Given the following information,
calculate the NPSH available at the inlet to the pump, at a maximum flow rate of 16,005 kg/h.
The total length of the pipeline from the rail tanker outlet to the pump inlet is 55 m. The vertical
distance from the tank outlet to the pump inlet is 15 m. Commercial steel piping, 55 mm internal
diameter, is used.
Miscellaneous friction losses due to the tanker outlet constriction and the pipe fittings in the inlet
piping are equivalent to 1000 equivalent pipe diameters. The vapor pressure of chlorine at the maximum
temperature reached at the pump is 690 kN/m2 and its density and viscosity, 1291 kg/m3 and 0.369 mNm-
2
s. The pressure in the tanker is 12 bara.
