An important design consideration in two-phase pipe flow of solid-liquid mixtures is the terminal settling velocity below, which the flow becomes unstable and eventually the pipe becomes clogged. On the basis of extended transportation tests, the terminal settling velocity of a solid particle in the rest water given by

- A tank contains 100 gallons of brine. Three gallons of brine, each containing 2 pounds of dissolved salt, enter the tank each minute, and the mixture, assumed uniform, leaves at the rate of 2 gallons per minute. If the salt concentration in the tank is 1.6 pounds per gallon at the end of 1 hour, what was the initial concentration?arrow_forwardAir (its gas constant is 287 J/kg.k) escapes from a tank at a temperature of 55 C and specific internal energy of u= 7508 J/kg, what will be its enthalpy (J/kg)?

- Methanol (SG=0.792) is contained in a large tank under a pressure of 350000 Pa absolute. When a valve on the bottom of the tank is opened, the methanol drains freely though a 0.02 m ID tube whose outlet is 7.00 m below the surface of the methanol. The pressure at the outlet of the discharge pipe is 101325 Pa. Some useful constants and conversions: g = 9.8 m/s2 , Pref = 1000 kg/m3 . a. Draw the system. Label points I and 2 (where you will define A= 2-1) and label the variables with values b Write the general form of the energy balance. Cancel out negligible terms, and state the keyword/assumption to justify. Simplify to the resultant energy balance. c.) Assume the diameter of the tank is very big compared to the drain tube velocity, which make the velocity of liquid in the tank equal to zero. Estimate the methanol discharge velocity in the drain tube in m/s. *hint: divide your EB by m to eliminate m and V.

The surface pressure is 101.2 kPa, the surface air temperature is 23 °C, and the lapse rate is 6.1°C/km. Taking the increment in elevation by 1.5 km, the gas constant Ra can be considered as 287 J/kg-K.arrow_forward
