A liquid with specific gravity of 0.94 undergoes a reduction in volume of 0.22%. When subjected to an increase in pressure of 1400 kPa. What will be the velocity of the sound propogation in this liquid.
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. Recall, n = pV = pvA and = v/m=1/p
