Dear community, I have a question comparable to https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-the-mass-of-air-in-a-pressurised-air-tank.1053707/, but with some additional peculiarities. My setup is: 1) I got a time series of gas pressure and temperature, with a time step of 2 minutes 2) I...

Dear Engineers, I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to seek guidance on a new project that I am undertaking: the construction of an Internal Floating Roof (IFR) tank with a dome roof. As I am relatively new to this position, this project presents a significant learning...

I want to measure tank circuit currents using *different* methods. Below is the tank circuit. The coupling transformer has 20 turns and has 10A @ 80khz going through it. This means there should be a maximum of 200A in the tank (20:1 turns ratio). I measure the voltage across the 2.6uF capacitor...

How did you find PF?: by searching If I have an old 5000 lt pressure tank and as I see it needs a change of its membrane (Bludder) what is the recommendation that must be followed and also what is the volume ratio between the membrane before using and after testing or working situations

I would think the first solution is correct but the provided solution to this problem suggests the 2nd solution. Let me know what you guys think about this. Thanks,

A typical UK domestic hot water tank holds c. 200 litres of water. Hitherto the common method of heating it to say 60C has been by means of an internal coil of copper pipe through which is pumped hot water from a gas boiler at ~ 70C. Heat transfer on the outside of the coil is by natural...

I can imagine the experiment: the pressure at the surface will drop while the tank is emptying (if no air bubbles enter through the evacuation of course, otherwise it restores the pressure atm at the surface). The flow speed decreases as a function of time until the external pressure maintains a...

The general balance equation is as follow: d[m{u+gz+v2/2)sys=(u+gz+v2/2)dmin-(u+gz+v2/2)dmout +dq+dw. I understand that I would take in consideration the cross sectional area as well as the mass flow rate. However I can't figure out what else to consider as if atm pressure should be considered...

I draw this diagram: The formula for hydrostatic pressure is: ##P=\rho g h## so I just plug everything $$P=1000 \times 9.8 \times 0.1=980 Pa$$ Will the acceleration of the cart affect the hydrostatic pressure? Another thing that came to my mind was there would be extra force coming from...

My wife is wanting to place an empty alcohol bottle filled with Dawn in the toilet tank. Have a 1//16 hole drilled 3 inches from the bottom so the fluid will come out when flushed and the water level gets lower than the hole. The Dawn will stop coming out once the water refills above the hole...

Covid is surging again due to the Delta Variant. I saw in the news of many oxygen tanks with people connected to them even outside in hospital tents. I'd like to know something. If a person accidentally given more oxygen than required, for example. 4 Liter/Minute instead of 2 Liter/Minute...

Hello all, I am trying to understand how a force at the opposite wall from water entering a pressurized air (atmospheric pressure) tank, and for this discussion it is rigid, with no relief valve to displace the compressed air can be deduced. I have created a simple illustration and believe this...

Hello, In a piping system connected to the outlet of an crude oil tank, process man has located the expansion joint after the valve which is connected to tank's nozzle. Since this expansion joint is located after the valve, it must be able to withstand the design pressure of the piping system...

Hello everyone. I have to determine the tank volume and power requirement of a tank. The teacher has done it the following way, however, I don't understand the process.

I know that this should be a very simple problem, but I don't understand how to solve it without knowing the height at which the tank is separated from the rocket. I will be very grateful for any hint.

As I stated in the summary I'd like to calculate the required pressure and mass of a tank of hydrogen that would allow me to fill a second tank with 10kg of H2 at 700bar. I am trying to get an idea of the feasibility of doing this, putting aside, for now, how the primary tank would itself be...

This is the set up to produce stationary wave. The oscillator on the left will produce wave on water surface then this wave will travel to right, reflected at the tank and the incoming and reflected wave will superpose to form stationary wave. My teacher said when the water wave hits the tank...
