Hi all - my first post. What a great resource! Homework Statement I have an initially closed, pressurised vessel at ambient temperature, with a single species in it at dynamic equilibrium with some volume fraction of vapour and liquid. I am in the "wet vapour" region of the P-v-T...

Hi everybody, I've been going around in circles with this problem and not sure if I'm approaching it correctly. I have a vessel filled with a fluid and connected to a pipe (circular cross section) with a tap on the end. The pressure on the vessel is not atmospheric, it is about 1 bar...

Homework Statement The inner and outer radii of a hollow steel hemispherical vessel are 2 cm and 3 cm respectively.what is the total cost of painting the vessel all over at the rate of 70 cents per cm² ? [ b]2. Homework Equations [/b] Curved surface area of...

Hi dear Forumers, I 've run into a little thermodynamic problem: There is a closed vessel, containing a given amount of liquid. I heat up the vessel, higher than the boiling point of the liquid. Here it is what happens: As a start, I know that the pressure inside the vessel consists of...

I would like to check something. If I understand well, in the TMI accident, the reactor vessel was never damaged (in the sense of: having lost major containment function) ? Can someone confirm this, or correct my understanding ?

Hi, I'm trying to work out how to calculate the forces acting on a vessel containing a vacuum. The vessel is not cylindrical or spherical. Can anyone suggest any websites or textbooks that might be useful? Thanks

1. Ok, I've been working on this problem for ever and it seems easy but I know that there is something wrong. A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 90 m/s. One goes along the negative...

[SOLVED] volume of gas in a cylindrical vessel on which a piston has been placed Homework Statement A cylindrical vessel with a tight but movable piston is placed in a vertical position so that the piston, whose area is 60 cm2, is subject to atmospheric pressure. When the gas in the vessel...

I would like to know what steps I need to take to become a certified pressure vessel designer builder and user. I searched the ASME website pretty extensively and there are a bunch of courses offered but it is hard to find anything specific on becoming certified.

Hello folks I am building a reaction vessel that will have an inbuilt condenser for a design project at the Saint Martiin`s school of fashion in London. Problem is, I know nothing about physics. would anyone help me out on what and how I calculate the necessary elements that will prevent the...

I am trying to design a pressure vessel for testing purposes that is 12 inches long and must have an inner diameter of 1.5 inches. 1) What is the minimum thickness the walls can be in order to attain "vacuum" pressure (10E-6 torr)? I want to make the walls as thin as possible and still be...

Gents, I am looking for a design modification to accomplish 250,000 cycles of pressure loading in a short time period. We are going from 0 (1atm) to 10psi but currently only getting 10 cycles in 120 seconds. Enclosed is a diagram of the system. Details: Rate goal is 3hz Power Source is...

So, the other day i was popping a small pimple on the middle to upper part of my nose. A few minutes later on the very tip of my nose (not where the pimple was) a circular dot about the size of a dime appeared. It is redish/purplish in color. It has been present for about 2 days and still...

Homework Statement A vessel of capacity 3m^3 contains air at a pressure of 1.5 bar and a temperature of 25 celcius. Additional air is now pumped into the system until the pressure rises to 30 bar and temperature rises to 60 celcius. Determine the mass of air and express the quantity as a...

Homework Statement Suppose a closed vessel of volume V contains a mixture of atomic and molecular Oxygen. Will the volume of the vessel occupied by each species be equal to V? I have this doubt because in my book in order to determine the pressure exerted by each species they have taken the...

Power Calculation for Rotating Vessel I need help, please. I have an application with a rotating cylinder in which material is tumbled for processing purposes. The following quantities are known although I have need of generic formulas in the future as these are variables between system...

If air is venting thru a 10" duct and there is a static pressure drop of 2” water column for every 100’ of length at 2000 cfm and the duct opens to a 1000 cubic feet airtight vessel and exits through another 100’ of 10” duct how can you find the pressure drop for the tank alone?

This may sound stupid but this is what happened. I had a cup and i put it to my mouth, i then sucked the air out so it stuck to my mouth. I guess i did it a little to much cause now my mouth is all red and it has little red dots everywhere where the cup was. It has been a day and it hasnt gone...

i was hoping for someone to help me get started with this problem == A blood vessel is cylindrical with radius R. and length l. the blood near the boundary moves slowly; blood at the cetner moves the fastest. The velocity, v, of the blood at a distance r from the center of the artery is given by...

I am a novice at stress analysis. For my competition, I need to calculate the stress on a torus in vacuum filled with air at pressure P. Here's is what I have managed to do. I have attached an image below. The torus section is an angular section of a curved cylinder. Its angular dimensions are...

If I recently had a blood vessel pop in my thumb what should I do? Am I at risk for popping anywhere else?

The closed vessel contains water with an air pressure of 10 psi at the water surface. One side of the vessel contains a spout closed by a 6-inch diameter circular gate hinged along one side. Horizontal axis of the hinge is located 10 ft below the water surface. Determine the minimum torque that...

1.The tension in a string holding a solid block below the surface of a liquid (of density greater than the solid) is To when the containing vessel is at rest. Show that when the vessel has an upward vertical acceleration of magnitude a, the tension T is equal to To(1+ a/g)?

An enclosed cylindrical* (disc) vessel one inch thick and five inches in radius holding two pounds of fluid at ambient atmospheric pressure (14psi?)and being spun at 30,000 rpm's. Assume the centrifugal force acting on the fluid creates a pressure of 1,000 psi. The question is ... "If the...

I am designing an in-vessel composting system - a 21 ft. long 4 ft. diameter steel tube that is mounted and spun on wheels by a hydraulic pump/turbine assembly, coupled to a 60:1 gear reduction box - the hydraulic pump will likely be powered by a small 4-5 HP gas powered motor. My question...

The answers to each of the clues below are words that could have an alternate definition if the words were read incorrectly. For example, if the word "coward" was incorrectly read as having "co-" as a prefix to the word "ward," its definition could be "to jointly parry or keep something away."...
