Process cooling
Cooling Water
A cooling basin feeds a constant-head pump through a 4-inch line, necks down through a reducer, and climbs 5 m to a heat exchanger held at 240 kPa(g). The solver balances the pump head against friction, the fitting losses and the static lift.
The reducer and globe valve use Crane TP-410 auto K-factors referenced to the correct velocities — the small-bore side for the reducer, as the standard prescribes.
