# Industrial Specification: Drain &amp; Recovery System

## 1. Technical Definition
A system designed to collect, drain, and recover fluids from quenching processes

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 bar differential pressure, 20-95°C fluid temperature, 5-50 L/min flow rate**. Failure boundary: **4.2 bar differential pressure (pump cavitation threshold), 120°C fluid temperature (seal degradation point), 0.2 L/min flow rate (sediment accumulation threshold)**, Mechanism: **Cavitation at 4.2 bar due to vapor pressure drop below 0.023 bar absolute at 20°C, thermal degradation of EPDM seals above 120°C exceeding Arrhenius activation energy of 85 kJ/mol, laminar flow sedimentation below Reynolds number 2000**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.
