DETAIL CALCULATION
a. Calculation of ballast tank volume
Volume of ballast tank has been calculated on general arrangement
Total Volume = 1742.255 m3

b. Calculation of the ballast pump capacity

Capacity of ballast pump can be calculated by the following formula :
Q=V/t
Where,
V = 1742.255 m3 (ballast tank volume)
t= 18 hr (assumed time for deballasting)

So, the required capacity for ballast pump 96.8 m3/hr

0.02688665
c. Calculation of ballast pipe diameter
The internal diameter of ballast pipe can be calculated by the
following formula :
Q=Axv
d= Q  4 
 v
Where,
Q= 96.8 m3/hr 0.0268867
= 0.027 m3/s
v= 2 m/s (velocity of flow is 2-4 m/s)

So, the required internal pipe diameter for ballast ballast pipe is
d= 0.131 m
d= 130.9 mm
From requirement above, so the specification pipe that choosen is :
Standard = DIN2440
Outside Diameter = 166.5 mm
Thickness = 4.85 mm
Inside Diameter = 156.8 mm
Schedule = 40

d. Calculation of ballast pump head

d.1 Calculation of Hs, Hp, and Hv
Head Static (Hs) = 9 m (approximated)
Head Pressure (Hp = (Pdis - Psuc)/γ where,
= 0 m Pdis = Psuc= 1 atm
Head Velocity (Hv = (v2discharge - v2suction)/2g
= 0 m where v dis = v suc

d.2 Calculation of Head Losses (HL)

Reynolds Number and Relative Roughness is f = 0.127

Calculation for mayor losses use the following formula :

HL mayor = f x L x V2 / (D x 2g)

Where,
f = 0.127
L = 120 m

V = 3 m/s
D = 156.8 mm
g = 9.810 m/s2

So,

Total suction head losses (HL 1) :

HL 1 = Major Losses + Minor Losses
= 47.69 m

b. Calculation of head losses at the discharge pipe

Calculation for mayor losses use the following formula :
HL mayor = f x L x V2 / (D x 2g)
Where,
f = 0.127
L = 12 m
V = 3 m/s

d.3 Calculation of Total Head

Total Head = Hs + Hp + Hv + HL 1 + HL 2
= 74.10 m

e. Ballast pump specification

Requirement of bilg pump specification is the pump must have

minimum capacity 96.8 m3/h and head minimum 74.10 m

So that the specification of ballast pump could be choosen
