Homework Statement I am trying to calculate the gas formation volume factor for a reservior, however I am stuck when trying to find the value n - number of moles for a gas to plug into the equation to find Bg, this is what I know; Bg (gas FVF)= volume of gas at reservoir conditions /...

HI sjb-2812, this is not for an ideal gas so I have to use the Z compressibility factor, I have already calculated Z i.e PV=ZnRT, these are the knowns; z=0.81, R=10.73 psia...T=580 Deg P=2195 psia n = ??at reservoir conditions, for standard conditions these are the knowns- Zsc=1.0, R=10.73, Tsc...

Homework Statement Can I calculate the volume of Methane if I have the pressure, Temperature and the density?, this is required to calculate the number of moles (n) for Methane, which is given by n = total gas weight / molecular weight, I can not get the total gas weight unless I calculate...

Thanks mg_phys, i will do that, much appreciated :)

Hi All, If I have an object (see drawing in attachment), of 6.09 m in height and a distance to C of G = 0.79 m, how can I work out what restraint would be required to stop this object from toppling over if enough force was placed on the structure to make it topple? (assuming a flat surface)...

Hi NVN, that is a great response, I understand where you are coming from, i was going to ask before your second post how i could calculate the force required to tip at an angle, however you have already answered this for me. Thankyou kindly, I really appreciate this! I can now move onto...

Hi All, I have a problem i am trying to figure out, if an object (scale drawing in attachment) is traveling at a constant velocity of 2.16 m/s, with a mass of 496 Kgs, what is the potential energy required to 'tip' this object over? Kinetic energy = 1/2 Mass x Velocity^2=1/2x496x2.16^2 which...

Hi MGB_phys, just wanted to say thanks for the reply, much appreciated :)

Hi, I have been tasked with working out load charts for various MEWPS (or cherry pickers) on board semi-submersible rigs, the iddea is to de-rate these in various sea states the same as an offshore crane, i have tried to simplify this as much as i can, however i am stuck when i try to work...
