Consider two water tanks filled with water. The first tank is 8 m high and is stationary, while the second tank is 2 m high and

is moving upward with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. Which tank will have a higher pressure at the bottom

Answer:

The first tank has a higher pressure at the bottom because it has  more depth

Explanation:

height of first tank = 8 m

height of second tank = 2 m

acceleration of second tank = 3.5 m/s^{2}

first calculate the pressure of the first tank :

pressure = <em>p</em>gh --- equation 1

where <em>p</em> = 1000 (pressure constant)

g = 9.81 ( acceleration due to gravity )

h = height

back to equation 1

pressure = 1000 * 9.81 * 8 = 78480 N/m^{2}

for the second tank

using equation 1

pressure =<em> p</em>gh

g = 9.91 + 3.5

h = 2 m

since the second tank has an acceleration we have to add it to the acceleration due to gravity so

pressure = 1000 * ( 9.81 + 3.5 ) * 2

               = 1000 * 13.31 * 2

               = 26620 N/m^{2}

Answer:

The second tank would have a higher pressure at the bottom.

Explanation:

Pressure in a vessel is given as the product of the height of the vessel (h), density of the fluid in the vessel (rho) and acceleration due to gravity (g).

For the first tank:

h = 8 m, rho = 1000 kg/m^3, g = 0 m/s^2 (tank is stationary)

P = h×rho×g = 8×1000×0 = 0 Pa

For the second tank

h = 2 m, rho = 1000 kg/m^3, g = 3.5 m/s^2

P = h×rho×g = 2×1000×3.5 = 7,000 Pa

The second tank would have a higher pressure because it is in motion.

Flow and Pressure Drop of Gases in Packed Bed. Air at 394.3 K flows through a packed bed of cylinders having a diameter of 0.012
devlian [24]

The pressure drop of air in the bed is  14.5 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate Re:

R e=\frac{1}{1-\varepsilon} \frac{\rho q d_{p}}{\mu}

From the tables air property

\mu_{394 k}=2.27 \times 10^{-5}

Ideal gas law is used to calculate the density:

ρ = \frac{2.2}{2.83 \times 10^{-3} \times 394.3}

ρ = 1.97 Kg / m^{3}

ρ = \frac{P}{RT}

R = \frac{R_{c} }{M} = 8.2 × 10^{-5} / 28.97×10^{-3}

R = 2.83 × 10^{-3} m^{3} atm / K Kg

q is expressed in the unit m/s

q=\frac{2.45}{1.97}

q = 1.24 m/s

Re = \frac{1}{1-0.4} \frac{1.97 \times 1.24 \times 0.0127}{2.27 \times 10^{-5}}

Re = 2278

The Ergun equation is used when Re > 10,

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \mu}{d_{p}^{2}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)^{2}}{\varepsilon^{3}} q+\frac{7}{4} \frac{\rho}{d_{p}} \frac{(1-\varepsilon)}{\varepsilon^{3}} q^{2}

\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{180 \times 2.27 \times 10^{-5}}{0.0127^{2}} \frac{(1-0.4)^{2}}{0.4^{3}} 1.24 +\frac{7}{4} \frac{1.97}{0.0127} \frac{(1-0.4)}{0.4^{3}} 1.24^{2}

= 4089.748 Pa/m

ΔP = 4089.748 × 3.66

ΔP = 14.5 kPa

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C_{p} = 1000 J/kg K,   R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

P_{1} = 100 kPa,     V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s

T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

     P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}

or,         m = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}

                = \frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}  

                = 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W

h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}

C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1}) = 5 K

T_{2} = 5 K + 300 K

T_{2} = 305 K

           = (305 K - 273 K)

           = 32^{o}C

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.
