Anyone out there give me a hand here? This is the first task my company has asked me to do for them.

"Please could you determine pipe schedule for the following arrangement:

4940 level (4940 ft) pipe entry point into No 4 shaft, flow 120 l/s. Assume Sch. 40 pipe.
5900 level (5900 ft) intermediate level with BAC using 60 l/s
6500 level (6500 ft) intermediate level
7500 level (7500 ft) intermediate level
8500 level (8500ft) bottom level using 60 l/s

Please could you use the ASME B31.3 piping code to specify the pipe schedule changeovers and recommend a pipe support strategy. Assume Victaulic pipe couplings type 77 are used. For 80 Sch and above piping type 808 couplings (double grooved type ) will be used.

Please assume the pump peak pressure bottoms out at 600 kPa. Please do the calculation with and without a water hammer allowance in the design pressure variable."


Any help would be great!

Thanks
