will the hydrostatic pressure be the same on the vessels shown with a different diameter of 1 meter and 1 centimeter? and will it be the same in both vessels if the first pipe has a diameter even less than 1 millimeter, 1 thousandth of a millimeter, 1 atom?

Let's say the upper piston goes down by ##y_1## and the lower piston goes down by ##y_2## after the block is suspended \ By volume conservation ##s_1 y_1=s_2 y_2## Let the pressure at the location of the upper piston be ##P_c=\frac{ky_1}{s_1}## Pressure at the lower piston : ##P_a=P_c+\rho...

As an example, you have a 100-gallon capacity sealed pressure vessel containing 100 psi of air pressure. What is the change in air pressure as the vessel volume is increased? If the volume is doubled is the pressure reduced to 50 pounds psi. On a graph, is the reduction rate a straight line? Is...

Hello everyone - this is my first post on the forum and this would be for a real world application. I have no mechanical engineering experience. We plan to build a cubical aluminium (6082 grade) pressure vessel. The total external dimensions are 540mm x 400mm x 75mm. The aluminium wall...

The ASME BPVC formula is t=PR/(SE-0.6P) where P = pressure , R = inside radius, S = allowed material design stress and E = joint efficiency factor. the AS1210 formula ,(equivalent nomenclature) is t=PR/(SE-P). This makes 1210 more conservative when using the inside radius . I suspect the pure...

Hi All, I'm trying to answer a question once and for all that has caused more debate than it ever should have (talking about an internal debate)... If I fill a sealed vessel (say an aluminium vessel with appox. 17.5ml of internal volume) with varying amounts of helium ( 1bar, 2bar, 3bar ...

The final answer should have a negative b^2⋅r(dot)^2⋅r term but I have no idea how that term would become negative. Also I know for a fact that my Lagrangian is correct.

I start out by substituting rcos(Θ) and rsin(Θ) for x and y respectively. This gives me z=(b/2)r^2. The Lagrangian of this system is (1/2)m(rdot^2+r^2⋅Θdot^2+zdot^2)-mgz. (rdot and such is the time derivative of said variable). I then find the time derivative of z, giving me zdot=br⋅rdot and...

So the other day, I was pouring beer from a can to a mug and I obviously know the flow rate depends on the height of the beer from the bottom of the can (fluid level in the vessel), angle of tilt and I think time as well. I was wondering how to best model the PDE to describe such a phenomenon (...

Hi, Pressure vessels have caps on top of them. These caps are secured with tri clamps and if you need to remove them you have to make sure that the tank's pressure is released. If the tank is under pressure (say 10psi) and an operator removes the cap (A is known), what is the speed of the cap?

Hi there, i have been working with a problem the past few days and have a hard time with some of the assumptions being made. The problem involves a piston in a tube which is connected to a vessel filled with air. The air behaves as an ideal gas to which the product PV^ζ is a constant. The...
