MET 330 Unit 5 Discussion For your analysis of the system, you were given the restriction of using an axial flow impeller pump. Your project task is to specify an axial flow impeller pump and determine operating conditions based on the information provided to you in the Project and the information below. The pump will fulfill the design requirements for the system shown in the figures below. It is a combination series/parallel system that operates as follows: Brine at 160°F (SG=1.04, m=10^-3 Pa*s) is drawn at a minimum rate of 250 gal/min from a tank into the 4-in suction line of the pump. The suction line has a total length of 10 ft. The 3-in discharge line elevates the water 15 ft to the level of a large heat exchanger. The discharge line has a total length of 40 ft. The flow splits into two branches with the primary 3-in line feeding a large heat exchanger that has a K-factor of 12 based on the velocity head in the pipe. These branches were examined in Part 1 of the project. Determine the system resistance operating curve for the system. All pipes are Schedule 40 steel. 250 words in word document with full analysis, in APA 6th edition reference format.

We need to figure out the pump flow rate and head necessary to get past the system resistance in order to design an axial flow impeller pump for the system [1]. Then, under the preferred operating circumstances, we may choose a pump that can give the appropriate flow rate and head.
We must ascertain the friction losses in the suction and discharge lines as well as the head loss via the heat exchanger in order to compute the system resistance operating curve. The friction losses may be determined using the Darcy-Weisbach equation:
hf = f * (L / D) * (V^2 / 2g)
where:
hf = friction loss     
f = friction factor
L = length of pipe
D = diameter of pipe
V = velocity of fluid
g = acceleration due to...
