Chapter 2, Problem 2.1aA
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acceptable plastics should be determined for a nearby curbside recycling program.

It should be explained that if the curbside program accepts both PET and PVC then how the PVC will not contaminate the PET.

Concept introduction:

The curbside recycling communities grew significantly under 1990 as they were working like the drop off stations for plastics. Soon it became significant in waste management and it has been noticed that around 2.12 million tons of plastic were recycled by this in 2009. The curbside recycling is helping in reclamation of plastics.

Derive an expression for incompressible flow in a horizontal pipe of constant diameter andwithout fittings or valves which shows that the pressure is a linear function of pipe length. Whatother assumptions are required for this result? Is this result valid for non-horizontal pipes? Howwill the presence of fittings, valves and other hardware affect this result?
Ethylene glycol liquid is used as an antifreeze in many applications. If it is stored in a vessel at a pressure of at 150 psig flows through a ¾ inch-diameter hole to atmospheric pressure. Estimate the discharge rate if the ambient pressure is 1 atm. For ethylene glycol at 77°F, the specific gravity is 1.15 and the viscosity is 25 cP. The molecular weight is 62.07.
