Figure P6.11D shows an air compressor fitted with a water

Chapter 6, Problem 6.11D

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure P6.11D shows an air compressor fitted with a water jacket fed from an existing water line accessible at a location 50 ft horizontally and 10 ft below the connection port on the water jacket. The compressor is a single-stage, double-acting, horizontal reciprocating compressor with a discharge pressure of 50 psig when compressing ambient air. Water at 45\(^{\circ}\)F experiences a 10\(^{\circ}\)F temperature rise as it flows through the jacket at a flow rate of 300 gal per hour. Design a cooling water piping system to meet these needs. Use standard pipe sizes and fittings and an appropriate off-the-shelf pump with a single-phase electric motor. Prepare a technical report including a diagram of the piping system, a full parts list, the pump specifications, an estimate of installed cost, and sample calculations.
