A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.
The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.
Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.
A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.
a. Solid to liquid - melting process
b. Liquid to gas - evaporation process
c. Gas to solid - deposition process
d. Solid to gas - sublimation process
e. Liquid to solid - solidification process
f. Gas to liquid - condensation process
Answer:
A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium. A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.
