Chapter 2, Problem 2.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The formula to calculate the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg is calculated as:

  ZA2=ZA1(1ρBρA)+ZT(ρBρA) ...... (1)

Here, ZA1 is the depth of the heavy liquid in the vessel, ZA2 is the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg, ZT is the total height of the vessel, ρA and ρB are the densities of heavy liquid and light liquid respectively.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of 50 mm error in the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg on the position of the interface is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The formula to calculate the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg is calculated as:

  ZA2=ZA1(1ρBρA)+ZT(ρBρA) ...... (1)

Here, ZA1 is the depth of the heavy liquid in the vessel, ZA2 is the height of the heavy-liquid overflow leg, ZT is the total height of the vessel, ρA and ρB are the densities of heavy liquid and light liquid respectively.
