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.

to determine the temperature that occurred in a fire 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 fire started, the tank was presumably at ambient conditions and the gage read 1950 psig. If th

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
A steady-state flow process is used to heat methanol in a tank. The incoming stream is at 2 bar and 25 oC and has a flow rate of 5 kg/s. The outgoing stream is at 1 bar, 100 oC. Heating is provided by a heating coil immersed in a tank. Given the
