Propose a centrifugal pump (brand and model) to transport 10 L/s of a fluid with a density of 1500 kg/m3 from a tank located on the first floor to a reactor on the second floor of the plant (8 meters in height). The reactor's operating pressure is 30 psig; the fluid is at 20 °C, and its viscosity is 15 cp. The pipeline on the pump discharge is 30 meters long (considering accessories are included). Neglect pressure losses in the pump suction. Propose the pipe diameter, schedule 40, commercial steel. Make any necessary assumptions. Select a pump capable of delivering a maximum flow of 15 L/s (remember that normal operation will be at 10 L/s) and discuss the price paid for this condition. Provide a copy of the pump curve indicating the operating point. Also, calculate the power consumption of the pump.
