According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

$\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1} = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

thus

$\frac{P1-P2}{\rho } = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

A rigid tank contains 1 kg of oxygen (O2) at p1 = 35 bar, T1 = 180 K. The gas is cooled until the temperature drops to 150 K. De

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a. Volume = 13.36 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 29.17 bar b. Volume = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 22.5 bar

Explanation:

Mass of O₂ = 1kg, Pressure (P1) = 35bar, T1= 180K, T2= 150k Molecular weight of O₂ = 32kg/Kmol

Volume of tank and final pressure using a)Ideal Gas Equation and b) Redlich - Kwong Equation

a. PV=mRT

V = {1 x (8314/32) x 180}/(35 x 10⁵) = 13.36 x 10^-3

Since it is a rigid tank the volume of the tank must remain constant and hnece we can say

T2/T1 = P2/P1, solving for P2

P2 = (150/180) x 35 = 29.17bar

b. P1 = {RT1/(v1-b)} - {a/v1(v1+b)(√T1)}

where R, a and b are constants with the values of, R = 0.08314bar.m³/kmol.K, a = 17.22(m³/kmol)√k, b = 0.02197m³/kmol

solving for v1

35 = {(0.08314 x 180)/(v1 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(v1)(v1 + 0.02197)(√180)}

35 = {14.96542/(v1-0.02197)} - {1.2835/v1(v1 + 0.02197)}

Using Trial method to find v1

for v1 = 0.5

Right hand side becomes = {14.96542/(0.5-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.5(0.5 + 0.02197)} = 31.30 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.4

Right hand side becomes = {14.96542/(0.4-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.4(0.4 + 0.02197)} = 39.58 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.45

Right hand side becomes = {14.96542/(0.45-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.45(0.45 + 0.02197)} = 34.96 ≅ 35

Specific Volume = 35 m³/kmol

V = m x Vspecific/M = (1 x 0.45)/32 = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³

For Pressure P2, we know that v2= v1

P2 = {RT2/(v2-b)} - {a/v2(v2+b)(√T2)} = {(0.08314 x 150)/(0.45 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(0.45)(0.45 + 0.02197)(√150)} = 22.5 bar

Natali [406]

Answer:

Mechanical Efficiency = 83.51%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi

Flow rate = $V=8ft^3/s\\$

Power of Pump = 3 hp

Required:

Mechanical Efficiency

Solution:

We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.

$P=1.2*6.895 = 8.274KPa\\V=8*0.00283=0.226 m^3/s\\P=3*0.746=2.238KW$

Now we will find the change in energy.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.

Thus change in energy is

$=(Mass * change in P)/density\\= \frac{M*P}{p}\\\\$

As we know that Mass = Volume x density

substituting the value

Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density

Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP

Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW

Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft

Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238

Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
