In the well-insulated trans-Alaska pipeline, the high viscosity of the oil and long distances cause significant pressure drops,

and it is reasonable to question whether flow work would be significant. Consider an 150 km length of pipe of diameter 1.2 m, with oil flow rate 500 kg/s. The oil properties are 900 kg/m3, 2000 J/kg·K, 0.765 N·s/m2. Calculate the pressure drop, the flow work, and the temperature rise caused by the flow work. Recall from chapter 1, for steady flow, one inlet, one outlet, no heat transfer, no work, and negligible kinetic and protential energy changes, the enthalpy of the fluid remains constant. Enthalpy is the sum of internal energy and flow work.

Our values are defined by,

L=150*10^3m

\Phi = 1.2m

\dot{m}=700kg/s

\rho_o=900km/m^3

Sp=2000J/KgK

\mu_k = 0.765Ns/m^2

With this data we can easily calculate first the mean velocity of the flow,

The velocity is given by,

\nu=\frac{\dot{m}}{\rho_o A_c}

\nu = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho_o \pi/4\Phi^2}

\nu = \frac{4*700}{900\pi(1.2)^4}

\nu=0.688m/s

With the mean velocity is now possible determine if the flow is Laminar or turbulent, for that we need Number Reynolds.

Remember that a Laminar Flow is given when Reynolds number is minor to 2300, then

Re_x = \frac{4\dot{m}}{\pi D\mu_k}

Re_x = \frac{4*700}{\pi*1.2*0.765}

Re_x = 970.8798

Re_x < 2300, then the flow is laminar.

For this section we will consider the Pressure drop to calculate the flow Work and the Total Energy conservation of this flow.

To calculate the Pressure drop we need the Friction factor, which is given by,

f= \frac{64}{Re}=\frac{64}{970.8789}

f= 0.06591

Then the Pressure drop is given by,

\Delta P = \frac{f\rho_o \nu^2 L}{2D}

\Delta P = \frac{0.06591*900*(0.688)^2*183*10^3}{2*1.2}

\Delta P = 2.141*10^6Pa

We can now calculate the Flow Work given by,

W_f = \frac{\Delta P\dot{m}}{\rho_o}

W_f = \frac{2.141*10^6*700}{900}

W_f = 1.6651*10^6J

From energy conservation we have

W_f=q

W_f = \dot{m}c_p\Delta T

Re-arrange for \Delta T

\Delta T = \frac{W_f}{\dot{m}c_p}

\Delta T = \frac{1.56*10^6}{700*2000}

\Delta T = 1.1894\°c

prove that the heat transfer at the constant pressure is given by the enthalpy change during the process​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

at constant pressure, the heat flow for any process is equal to the change in the internal energy of the system plus the PV work done. Comparing the previous two equations shows that at constant pressure, the change in the enthalpy of a system is equal to the heat flow: ΔH=qp.

Cite another example of information technology companies pushing the boundaries of privacy issues; apologizing, and then pushing
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tech Social Media giant FB is one of those companies. Not long ago the ceo was brought to court to accusations that his company was selling user data. Turns out this is true and they are selling their users private data to companies all over the word. Once the news turned to something else, people focused on something new but the company still continues to sell it's users data the same as before. This is completely unethical as the information belongs to the user and they are not getting anything while the corporation is profiting.
