SOLUTION:
DEFINITION:
CHOOSE A VALVE FOR REDUCING THE FLOW RATE IN THE OPEN FLOW
PIPING SYSTEM.
OBJECTIVE :
TO CHOOSE THE BEST SUITED VALVE FOR PREVENTING DERIMENTAL OF
PUMP DUE TO 5 HP MOTOR .
DATA GIVEN OR KNOWN:
1
PUMP POWER =3
hp
2
MOTOR POWER = 5 hp

BEST SUITED VALVE:

THE BEST SUITED VALVE FOR REDUCING THE FLOW IS THE GLOBE VALVE.
THE GLOBE VALVE ISBEST SUITED IN THE INDUSTRIES LIKE OPEN FLOW
PIPING SYSTEM AND THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.GLOBE VALVE CONSIST
A MOVABLE DISK TYPE ELEMENT AND A STATIONARY RING TYPE
SYSTEM.
THIS VALVE IS BEST SUITED FOR INSTANTANEOUSLY ON –OFF OPERATION
BECAUSE THESE TYPES OF VALVES GIVE THE HIGHEST PRESSURE DROP OF
THE FLUID.
JUSTIFICATION:
LET US RECALL THE PRESSURE DROP IN THE PIPE WHICH IS GIVEN BY
32μVL
ΔP=
2gD
gDΔP
V=
16μL
BY THIS RELATION VARIES ON THE VARIATION OF ΔP
SO AS THE PRESSURE DROPS THE VELOCITY DECREASES
AS WE KNOW THAT THE

Q = AV
Q = FLOW RATE
V = VELOCITY
A = AREA OF CROSS SECTION
AND AS THE VELOCITY DECREASES THE FLOW RATE ALSO DECREASES. SO
THE FLOW RATE IS DECREASES SO THE GLOBE VALVE IS USED FOR
REDUCING THE FLOW RATE WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR THE GIVEN PUMP
POWER.
