Rotary Positive Displacement PumpsIV. Centrifugal PumpsV. Pumps in Series and ParallelVI. Drag Force on Solid ParticlesVII. Terminal VelocityVIII. Non-spherical ParticlesCurrent LectureChapter 4Flow in Chemical Engineering Equipment- Pumps and Compressorso Transport of fluids requires one of the following: Elevation difference Pump or compressor imparting energy to the fluid (increase pressure or velocity)o Devices that increase pressure: Positive displacement pumps Centrifugal pump, fans, and blowers- Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumpso In positive-displacement reciprocating pumps, fluid is pumped by plunger travelling back and forth in a chambero Valves for intake and discharge operate in conjunction with the plunger to transfer the fluido Reciprocating pumps may be used for both liquids and gasesThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.o For gases, the pump is called compressor.o For gases, sometimes intercoolers are needed to avoid significant temperature rises.o If high pressures are needed, reciprocating pumps can be used in series.- Rotary Positive Displacement Pumpso Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps that use rotational, rather than reciprocating, motion during their pumping cycle. o They can handle almost any liquid that does not contain hard and abrasive solids,including viscous liquids. o Types of rotary pumps include cam-and-piston, internal-gear, lobular, screw, and vane pumps. o Gear pumps are found in home heating systems in which the burners are fired byoil. o Rotary pumps find wide use for viscous liquids. o When pumping highly viscous fluids, rotary pumps must be operated at reduced speeds because at higher speeds the liquid cannot flow into the casing fast enough to fill it.- Centrifugal Pumpso Fluid is directed to the impeller eye and is forced into a circular movement by therotation of the impeller vanes.o A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by a revolving device - an impeller. o Centrifugal pumps are particularly suitable for handling large flow rates.o They are ideal for fluids containing suspended solids. - Pumps in Series and Parallelo For Series Pumps, the head increases are additiveo For Parallel Pumps, the flow through each pump is only Q/2.o The overall head increase is the same as that for either pump singly.- Drag Force on Solid Particleso The drag on a smooth sphere may be correlated in terms of two dimensionless groups: the drag coefficient CD and the Reynolds number, Re.- Terminal Velocityo When sphere is travelling at steady-state, it is called terminal velocity, ut.- Non-spherical Particleso The sphericity  of the particle:oo The equivalent particle diameter, Dp, defined as the diameter of a sphere having the same volume as the
