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?
Expert
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
You are asked to make up a laboratory solution of 0.10 molar H2SO4 from concentrated (96%) H2SO4 at 56°F. The barometric pressure reads 750 mmHg. You look up the specific gravity of 96% H2SO4 and find it is listed at 1.858. Calculate: (a) th

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
A heater (heat source temperature = 527 K) and turbine are connected in series as shown below: Q : Rate of flow of nitrogen The feed to an 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).
