Exercise 2.21
A mud cup is placed under one cone of a hydrocyclone unit being used to precess an unweighted mud.
Twenty seconds were required to collect 1 qt of ejected slurry having a density of 20 lbm/gal.
Compute the mass of solids and water being ejected by the cone per hour.

The density of 800 bbl of 14-lbm/gal mud must be increased to 14.5 lbm/gal using API barite. The
total mud volume is limited to 800 bbl. Compute the volume of old mud that should be discarded and
the weight of API barite required.

The density of 900 bbl of a 16-lbm/gal mudThe volume fraction of low-specific- gravity solids also
must be reduced from 0.055 to 0.030 by dilution with water. A final mud volume of original mud that
must be discarded and the amount of water and AP barite that should be added

A 16.5-1bm/gal mud is entering a centrifuge at a rate of 20 gal/min along with 8.34 lbm/gal of
dilution water, which enters the centrifuge at a rate of 10 gal/min. the density of the centrifuge
underflow is 23.8 bm/gal while the density of the overflow is 9.5 Ibm/gal. the mud contains 25
lbm/bbl bentonite and 10 lbm/bbl deflocullant. Compute the rate at which deflocullant, water, and API
barite should be added downstream of the centrifuge to maintain properties constant.
