Chapter 3, Problem 3.45P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Plot the calibration curve of height of oil versus gauge pressure. Estimate the height of oil to a gauge reading of 68 kPa and calculate the mass of oil in the tank corresponding to this height.

Concept introduction:

It is given that oil is stored in a closed tank. The tank is 10 m high, 16 m in diameter. The oil has a specific gravity of 0.92.

In addition, amount of oil in the tank can be determined from gauge pressure,

The exerted by a fluid column can be calculated as,

Pressure = h ρ g

Where, h = height of the fluid, ρ = density of the fluid

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Calculate the actual height of the oil for the given case.

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.
