Problem 1: A certain rigid aluminum container contains a liquid at a gauge pressure of P0 = 2.02 × 105 Pa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is Pa = 1.01 × 105 Pa. The volume of the container is V0 = 2.15 × 10-4 m3. The maximum difference between the pressure inside and outside that this particular container can withstand before bursting or imploding is ΔPmax = 2.41 × 105 Pa.For this problem, assume that the density of air maintains a constant value of ρa = 1.20 kg / m3 and that the density of seawater maintains a constant value of ρs = 1025 kg / m3. Part (a) The container is taken from sea level, where the pressure of air is Pa = 1.01 × 105 Pa, to a higher altitude. What is the maximum height h in meters above the ground that the container can be lifted before bursting? Neglect the changes in temperature and acceleration due to gravity with altitude. Part (c) Choose the correct answer from the following options. The depth below the surface of the ocean…
5. A somestic water preservation tank in a municipality is 13.5 m below the main reservoir. The water is supplied from the main reservoir through a 3 km pipeline that has a sudden contraction from 200mm in diameter to 150 mm diameter. The contraction is at a point 1.5m below the surface level of the main reservoir. The coefficient of friction for both sections of the pipeline is 0.005. At the contraction point the pressure should not fall below the atmospheric pressure of 3 m of water. Neglecting all the minor losses, calculate the maximum allowable length from the contraction to the domestic tank.
Question 9 A 10m diameter above-ground uninsulated steel spherical pressure vessel contains liquified butane (CaH10) and is controlled to be filled to within 3m of the top. There is a risk that the tank could be surrounded by fire. Your task is to choose an appropriate pressure relief valve that will discharge to atmosphere and will not have a rupture disk fitted.

Problem 5 A square tube is open to air at atmospheric pressure on the top and capped with a porous membrane on the bottom. The tube cross section is L = 1 cm by L = 1 cm. The porous membrane contains 100 vertically oriented cylindrical pores of diameter d = 0.1 mm. Surface tension holds a column of water (o = 0.072 N/m) from falling through the membrane. The contact angle of water with the tube is 20°. The contact angle of water with the membrane pore walls is 180° (as shown) just before the water column spills through the membrane. The membrane is 0.01 mm thick, over which there is negligible hydrostatic pressure difference. a) Estimate the vertical capillary force by the tube on the water column. b) Estimate the vertical capillary force by a single membrane pore on the water column. c) Estimate the maximum water column height that the system can hold up.

A pneumatic tube system is used in a hospital to quickly transport laboratory samples across the building. A cylindrical canister (radius r = 12.5 cm, mass m = 950 g) containing the sample is placed in a tube with roughly the same radius. The bottom of the tube is exposed to atmospheric pressure, but the portion of the tube above the canister is maintained at a slightly lower pressure, which sucks the canister into the tube. For the questions below, use 101,325 Pa for atmospheric pressure, and maintain 6 significant figures on your numerical answers. What absolute pressure P must be maintained in the portion of the tube above the canister in order to keep the canister stationary? (For simplicity, assume that the tube is coated with a non-stick surface so that friction can be ignored). What is the gauge pressure above the canister in the scenario described above? If tube system operator lowers the absolute pressure found in part (a) by 1.00%, then what is the acceleration of the…

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)…
