Answer:
The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.
Explanation:
From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure (), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:
(1)
Where:
- Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.
- Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.
If we suppose that and
, then the absolute pressure is:
The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step by step solved solution is given in the attached document.
Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Given that:
diameter d = 12 in
thickness t = 0.25 in
the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in
r/t = 6/0.25 = 24
24 > 10
Using the thin wall cylinder formula;
The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.
So;
b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.
where P = 250 psi
