INTEGRATED PROJECT GROUP 2 : GREAT MIND INC.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In the distillation unit, the top and bottom products will be sent to the storage tank, in which located 3 meters from the ground. As a young engineer, you are required to prepare a layout of piping line from product streams of distillation column to the storage tank. Both streams may include a pump unit. Identify the type of the pipe, diameter, the fittings, and connections of the streams, as well as pump location. In addition, the piping system must include the pressure drop over the entire piping system and the estimation of the pumping power required by assuming an appropriate pump efficiency.

ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS
What Did You Think?
1. What is the function of pump in the system ?
2. What happens to the friction loss,F if the velocity in the pipe increases ? (Hint: increases/decrease)
3. What conditions that lead the pressure drop to be negative ?
