Water (density = 62.43 lbm/ft3, MW = 18.01) is flowing at 35 gal/min into a cylindrical tank. The tank diameter is 1 m and its height is 3.5 m. The tank is initially empty. If there is also a water stream leaving the tank at 2.25 lbm/s, how long will it take for the tank to fill completely? Use a mass balance, not a volume balance for this problem.

A fluid with density of 61.8 lbm/ft3 is pumped at a rate of 345 gal/min to a tank vented to the atmosphere. The fluid is pumped at 77° F through a 2” schedule-40 steel pipe with an equivalent length of 500 ft. The ID of the pipe is 2.067” and the friction factor is 0.029213. The line has a globe control valve in the full-open position with an equivalent length of 110 ft. Calculate the pressure drop across the control...

In a gas processing plant, 45 gpm (gal/min) glycerol (density = 1.27 g/cm3 , MW = 92.09) flows into a splitter. Three streams leave the splitter. Stream 1 contains 2.5 lbm/s glycerol. Stream 2 contains 25 percent of the remaining glycerol. Calculate the flow rates of Streams 2 and 3 in lbm/s. Assume steady state.

Oil at a rate of 300 gal/min is flowing steadily from tank A to tank B through 3000 ft of 3-in schedule 40 pipe (Appendix A.2). The inside diameter (ID) of 3-in schedule pipe is 3.068 in. The line contains two globe valves, a swing check valve, an a nine 90oC elbows. The oil has a density of 62.3 lbm/ft3 and a viscosity of 50 cP. The levels of the free surfaces are the same in both tanks. Tank B...

The two equations below express conservation of energy and conservation of mass for water flowing from a circular hole of radius 2 centimeters at the bottom of a cylindrical tank of radius 20 centimeters. In these equations, Δ m is the mass that leaves the tank in time Δt, v is the velocity of the water flowing through the hole, and h is the height of the water in the tank at time t. g is the accelertion of gravity,...
