Question

Transcribed Image Text:Working for an engineering consultancy firm, your knowledge of fluid
dynamics is required to design a new safety feature for a high-pressure
air line in a factory. The air line takes the form of a cylindrical pipe of
diameter 150 mm, which is designed to operate between 0.45 MPa and
0.76 MPa. At the end of the pipe a bursting disk is placed so that, if the
pressure exceeds the maximum operating pressure, the air is vented to
atmosphere rather than over-pressuring the chemical reaction vessel
(Figures 4a and 4b). In this question, you should treat the flow as quasi-
one-dimensional and inviscid. The air in the surrounding atmosphere is
at 101 kPa and 298 K.
a) You have a choice of five disks which can withstand the following forces
across them before bursting: 10.5 kN, 11.0 kN, 11.5 kN, 12.0 kN, 12.5
kN. Which of these bursting disks would you recommend, and why?
b) Due to an over-pressurisation of the air line, the disk bursts at time t =
0. At what pressure in the air line will this occur?
c) After the disk bursts, a shock wave travels in one direction while
expansion waves travel in the other direction. At time t = t₁, the wave
pattern in Figure 4c is observed. Plot the pressure distribution in the
pipe from x = -6.0 m to x = 6.0 m corresponding to this wave pattern.
You are given that a pressure tap at x = 0.0 m records the pressure at t =
t₁ as 258 kPa. On your plot, annotate the pressure values in different
regions of the air line.
d) What is the Mach number of the shock wave that is travelling along the
pipe?

d) What is the Mach number of the shock wave that is travelling along the
pipe?
e) In the frame of reference of the shock, what is the post-shock Mach
number? Also determine the post-shock temperature and explain
concisely in physical terms why the temperature has increased or
decreased through the shock.
f) Determine the value of t₁, i.e. how long after the disk burst was the
snapshot in Figure 4c captured?
