Liquid line sizing & pumping downhill

I don't think I was ever shown how to size a pipeline from nothing but a problem statement. If you haven't either - here it is. We also look at why it would be necessary to use a pump, even though our pipeline runs downhill.

The calculations I do are free to access here:

If you spot anything I've messed up, let me know!

Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”

This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.
