A saturated steam at 410K is being transported in a pipeline (brass drawing tubing) at a rate of 1 grams/second. Pipe has inside diameter of 0.025 m . The tube is 100m long. The pressure at the entrance is 80kPa. What is the value of G in kg/s.m2?. (use Perry's Handbook for the properties and constants) R = 8314J/kgmol.K; MW=18.02g/mol
A pitot tube is used to measure the flow rate of water at 30C. The pitot tube is positioned at the center of the pipe, with an inside diameter of 102.3mm. A mercury (SG = 13.6) manometer measures the pressure difference, and the reading is 24 mm. If the pitot tube coefficient is 0.98,, compute for the average velocity and the volumetric flow rate.
a) Calculate the maximum flux the liquid water can have ( η = 0.891 cP and ρ = 0.998 g/mL a 20 ºC) when flowing through a 2 mm diameter tube, in the laminar regime.b) If the pressure when entering the tube is 1 bar, how many meters will it need for the pressure to decrease a 10%? Data: dina/cm3 = 10 Pa/m; 1 bar = 105 Pa.
Results: 2.81 cm3/s, 1.57 m
