SUCTION STATIC HEAD (𝐇𝐒𝐒 )

HSS = HZ + LSH − L1

HZ = 0.833ft (From the model)

LSH = 3.25ft (From the P&ID)

L1 = 0.387ft (From Mechanical GAD)

HSS = 0.833 + 3.25 – 0.387 = 3.696ft

VAPOUR PRESSURE HEAD LOSS (𝐇𝐯𝐚𝐩 )

Vapour pressure of liquid = 7.635 psig

The vapour pressure was obtained from HYSYS by taking the pressure of the fluid at the
prevailing ambient temperature when the vapour fraction is equal to zero.
