Answer:
There are 6 types of pressure control valves and their function is to regulate the pressure below a threshold level within safe limits and to maintain and control pressure of a particular circuit.
Explanation:
The six type of Pressure valve with their functions are given below:
a. Unloading Valve:
These type of pressure valve are used to pour fluid into the container at very low or no pressure.
b. Safety valve:
These are used when the pressure within the vessel is in excess as inside temperature is near about preset [point point then these valves are open to release the extra pressure and are closed once normal conditions are regained.
c. Pressure Reducing Valve:
These are basically used for the control of the pressure in downstream not exceeding the design limits.
d. Pressure Relief Valves:
These are basically used to limit and regulate the pressure of any system.
e. Counter Balance Valve:
These are used to develop pressure in the reverse direction at the actuator's return line in order to keep the load under control.
f. Sequence Valve:
These are used to maintain sequence or order in the operations of two parts or branches.
Answer:
Kindly check Explanation section.
Explanation:
NB: please check the attachment for the solution to: the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, the momentum thickness the wall shear stress, the friction coefficient, and the drag coefficient for a flat plate with zero pressure gradient in a laminar flow.
===============================
So,for the solution the second part of the question that asked us to state;
What happens if we add a constant positive pressure gradient?
SOLUTION: Whenever we have dp/dx > 0 that is a positive pressure gradient then, we are going to have what is known as a divergent flow which makes pressure to increase in the direction of flow. The pressure will be minimum around the centre. Also, as the velocity decreases(velocity gradient becomes negative), the area of flow increases.
Yes, so people would get good grades
