Given: Steam generation (MCR) - 220,000 lb/hr (This is upgraded capacity) Steam drum pressure - 280 psia Pressure loss due to economizer - 15 psi Pump suction line size - 6 Pump discharge line size - 5
a) Volume required = total capacity required/density where: density = 1/specific volume @ 250F = 1/0.017001 = 58.82 lb/cu.ft MCR - 220,000 lb/hr + 10% for emergency make - 22,000 lb/hr + 10% for exceptional load 1 hr - 22,000 lb/hr + 5% for blow downs - 11,000 lb/hr Total capacity required - 275,000 lb/hr
Volume required = 275,000 lb/hr 58.82 lb/cu.ft Volume required = 4,675 cu.ftr = 2.208 cu.mmin b) Head required: i) Suction Head Velocity head = ; 2g were: ; = ;olume flow area

Suction ead = 25 ft - 0.676 ft - 2.05 ft = 22.274 ft
ii) Discharge head o Velocity head= ; 2g where: ; = ;olume flowarea 4,675 cu.ft/hr(4)144(1)hr = n (5) ft2 (3600) sec = 9.5 ft8ec Then, velocity head = 1.4 ft
o Pressure head= drum pressure x 2.31/sp. grav. where: drum pressure = 280 psi sp. grav. = 2 1 = 58.82/62.4 = 0.943 Pressure head= 280 x 2.31 / 0.943 = 685.89 ft
o Static head = 35 ft (estimated) o Friction loss= losses due to 3 valves (full open)- 1m x 3 1 valve (3/4 open) - 7m x 1 8 90 elbow - 3m x 8 130 ft of 5 pipe - 40m Total equivalent length- 34m
= 2 f L ; g D (eq. 14-10 p.605 Power Plant Eng'g by Morse MKS Units) where: f = coefficient of friction 0.424 = 0.0035+0.0007562(zDVS) (eq 14-13 p.605 Power Plant Eng'g by Morse MKS Units) z = 0.1850 centipoise for water at 121C as extrapolated from Table 14-8 Viscosities p. 606 Power Plant by Morse) D = pipe ID, 5 or 0.127 m V = ;elocity at 8uction = 9.5 ft8ec, 2.89 m8ec S = 8pecific gra;ity @ 121C = 58.82/62.4 = 0.943 Substitute variables in equation for f, f = 0.004079 Then, substitute variables in equation for Friction loss, Friction loss = 2 f L ; g D = 1.88 m or 6 ft
Discharge head = 685.9 ft + 1.4 ft + 6 ft = 693.3 ft Then, Head required = Discharge head - Suction Head = 693.3 ft - 22.274 ft = 671 ft or 204.5 m
c) Power requirement = Q dw H / 4,500,000 () where: Q = 2,208 lmin (liter8min) dw = 943 kgcu.m H = 204.5 m = 0.90 (motor efficiency) 2,208 x 943 x 204.5 Power requirement = Hp 4,500,000 x 0.9 x 0.70 = 150 Hp, 8ay 200 Hp
d) But the actual pump rating is: GPM (Boiler rating) - 400 GPM (Installed capacity) - 472 Rated head - 878 ft RPM - 3,600 Hp (Turbine driven) - 190 HP (Electric motor) - 250 Single stage Worthington, single suction with auto leak off non return valve at the discharge.
