(a)
Interpretation:
Dynamic model for the pressures in the given two surge tanks as well as for the air mass flow rates is to be developed.
Concept introduction:
For chemical processes, dynamic models consisting of ordinary differential equations are derived through unsteady-state conservation laws. These laws generally include mass and energy balances
The process models generally include algebraic relationships which commence from
In the steady-state process, the accumulation in the process is taken as zero.
(b)
Interpretation:
The model of the given surge tanks are to be modified for adiabatic conditions of operation. Also, the approach used in preparing the model is to be stated if the ideal gas law were not a good approximation for the given process.
Concept introduction:
For chemical processes, dynamic models consisting of ordinary differential equations are derived through unsteady-state conservation laws. These laws generally include mass and energy balances
The process models generally include algebraic relationships which commence from thermodynamics, transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, and physical properties of the processes.
In the steady-state process, the accumulation in the process is taken as zero.

- Natural gas having a specific gravity relative to air of 0.60 and a viscosity of 0.011 cP is flowing through a 6-in. Schedule 40 pipe in which is installed a standard sharp-edged orifice equipped with flange taps. The gas is at 100°F and 20lb/in? abs at the upstream tap. The manometer reading is 46.3 in. of water at 60°F. The ratio of specific heats for natural gas is 1.30. The diameter of the orifice is 2.00 in. Calculate the rate of flow of gas through the line in cubic feet.arrow_forwardصورة من s94850121arrow_forward11:01 ☑ canvas.ucsd.edu 口 : ... Page 1 > of 2 Q - ZOOM + 4. Consider the two separate sets of measured data for a silt-loam soil measured by Mualem (1976): (1) suction versus water content, and (2) suction versus relative permeability of unsaturated soil, k/ks. Assume that 0s 0.396, 0res = 0.131, and Ks=5.74×10-7 m/s. a. Using the method of least squares in Excel, compute the best-fit values for αNG (kPa¹) and nvg for the van Genuchten (1980) relationship for data set # 1 (assume m = 1-1/nvG). See the example spreadsheet in the homework folder under the files section of Canvas for help in performing this calculation. b. Repeat part (a) and estimate the λ and ac parameters for the Brooks and Corey (1964) SWRC for data set #1. Note that you may need to include an "if" statement at the air entry suction. c. Plot the data for the SWRC versus the fitted van Genuchten (1980) and Brooks and Corey (1964) curves. Which relationship matches the capillary pressure data better (BC or VG)? Explain…arrow_forward
