Answer:
t= 4.5 mm
Explanation:
Given that
P = 520 KPa ( gauge)
Maximum allowable normal stress ,σ= 150
d= 2.6 m
Wall thickness = t
The normal stress for pressure vessel given as
( hoop stress)
We always take maximum stress for safe design.

Now by putting the values

t= 4.5 mm
So the minimum thickness, t, of the wall is 4.5 mm
Answer:
P = 4.745 kips
Explanation:
Given
ΔL = 0.01 in
E = 29000 KSI
D = 1/2 in
LAB = LAC = L = 12 in
We get the area as follows
A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²
Then we use the formula
ΔL = P*L/(A*E)
For AB:
ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB
For AC:
ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC
Now, we use the condition
ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in
⇒ ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in
Knowing that PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P
we have
(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in
⇒ P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips
The pic shown can help to understand the question.
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:

thus

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
