Air at 60°F and atmospheric pressure flows in a horizontal duct with a cross section corresponding to an equilateral triangle (all sides equal). The duct is 100 ft long, and the dimension of a side is 6 in. The duct is constructed of galvanized iron (k = 0.0005 f1). The mean velocity in the duct is 12 ft/s. What is the pressure drop over the 100 ft length?

Working for an engineering consultancy firm, your knowledge of fluid dynamics is required to design a new safety feature for a high-pressure air line in a factory. The air line takes the form of a cylindrical pipe of diameter 150 mm, which is designed to operate between 0.45 MPa and 0.76 MPa. At the end of the pipe a burs9ng disk is placed so that, if the pressure exceeds the maximum opera9ng pressure, the air is vented to atmosphere rather than over-pressuring the chemical reac9on vessel (Figures 4a and 4b). In this ques9on, you should treat the flow as quasione-dimensional and inviscid. The air in the surrounding atmosphere is at 101 kPa and 298 K. a) You have a choice of five disks which can withstand the following forces across them before burs9ng: 10.5 kN, 11.0 kN, 11.5 kN, 12.0 kN, 12.5 kN. Which of these burs9ng disks would you recommend, and why? b) Due to an over-pressurisa9on of the air line, the disk bursts at 9me t = 0. At what pressure in the air line will this occur? c)…
Question 2A large vat contains water, which contains a drainage pipe at a height h1, as shown infigure 2. The drainage pipe has a length L. = 0.4 m, and a radius R = 15 mm, and releaseswater to the atmosphere at a flow rate Q. The connection between the pipe and the vatwall has a loss coefficient of KL = 0.8.Point A is in the middle of the tank at a height, hi.You can assume that the flow in the drainage pipe is fully developed and laminar. The density of water is p = 1000 kg/m° and the viscosity is u = 1 mPa.s. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s? a) Find an expression for the pressure at point A.b) Find an expression in terms of Q, L, d, K, p and u for the pressure losses along the pipe (including the losses at the inlet and exit).c) If the flowrate out of the drainage tank is Q = 50 L/min, find ho. You may assumeany change of ho with time is negligible.
