Problem on flow rate of natural gas
Natural Gas is flowing through a 10 inch schedule 40 pipe. The gas is at 109°F and 7.3 psig. The outside air temperature is 92°F. If the flow rate of the gas is 8,000 SCFM: What is the flow rate in lb/hr?

The cross sectional Area of the Pipe
= (22/7)*((power(10.75,2)-power(10.02,2))= 47.65231429*0.00694444444=0.330918849sq ft
Now the volumetric flow rate 8000 SCFM means 8000 cubic ft
PV=nRT
P=7.3 psig=7.3+14.7 psi =22psi=22*6894.75729 pa
=151684.6604Pa
V=8000 cuft V=8000*0.0283168466 cubic meters=226.5347728 Cu m
Temp =306.4833K
N= 151684.6604Pa*226.5347728 Cu m/(8.314J/K-mole*306.4833K)= 13485.27177 mole
Considering the Nutral gas is methane CH4 =16kg/mole
So Mass flow rate =215764.3484Kg/Hr =475678.9634lb/hr
The feed of an ammonia synthesis reactor is 25% (lbmole) nitrogen with the balance hydrogen. The flow rate is 3000 kg/h at 65°C and 95 bar. Calculate the flow rate of nitrogen to the reactor in kg/hr.
Calculate the pressure at the bottom of a column of Ethanol 100 ft high using a pressure (force) balance in American Engineering Units.
The feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contain 25 mole% nitrogen and the balance hydrogen. The flow rate of the stream is 3000 kg/hr. Calculate the rate of flow of nitrogen into the reactor in kg/hr. (Hint: First calculate the average molecular weight of the mixture).
The Clausius-Clapeyron equation gives us an expression for dP/dT. Now we will derive an analog to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation by obtaining an expression for dT/dµ when two phases are at equilibrium. For simplicity, let’s derive this fo
Modeling eye movements is commonly performed in the Matlab/Simulink pacakage. Based on the Physiological evidence, oculomotor plants have been designed to simulate various eye movements. Choose two eye movement models, one for saccades and the other for pursuit, and simulate the following amplitudes
To determine the temperature that occurred in a ?re in a warehouse, the arson investigator noticed that the relief valve on a methane storage tank had popped open at 3000 psig, the rated value. Before the ?re started, the tank was presumably at ambient conditions and the gage read 1950 psig. If
