Hello All,
Problem Statement :
Data :
How do I go about this calculation ?
Background of the problem:
This is for a Rotary Breaker project where we have a 24" Sparge Pipe that is sprays hot water onto the huge chunks of solids being processed inside a rotary breaker. Rotary breakers belong the screening family ; where the machine breaks the solids inside a giant cylindrical section (this project ; 16ft Dia) and keep screening the materials as the go forwards in length. Water is used to form a semi slurry state to help fascilitate the breaking
Problem Statement :
- This is for design of a 24" sparge pipe for transporting hot water (85 deg C) for over 60 ft.
- Asked to calculate the Back pressure
Data :
- Liquid in the pipe: water
- Flow rate : 3010 m^3/hr = 0.83611 m^3/sec
- Pipe Dia : 24" = 2.032 mts
- No elbows throughout 60 ft length
How do I go about this calculation ?
- Do I first find out if its laminar flow or turbulent flow
- How to arrive at back pressure equations ?
- Found a link "www.harcomanufacturing.com/docs/Backpressure%20CalculatorP.xls" : that gives an equation which I have never come across in any internet searches before. Is that how Back pressure is calculated
