AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for assistance with a fluid flow problem involving benzene in a chemical processing plant. The task is to calculate the required pressure at the pump outlet to deliver benzene to a specified pressure at point B, considering the elevation difference and pipe characteristics. Key parameters include the pressure requirement of 550 kPa, a 21 m elevation difference, a 240 m length of smooth plastic pipe with a 50 mm diameter, and a flow rate of 110 L/min. The user expresses urgency and frustration over not knowing how to begin the calculations. The thread highlights the importance of understanding fluid dynamics principles to solve the problem effectively.

need help with this! as soon as possible please (fluid flow in pipes)

here is my Q am facing a problem with i don't know how to start and i have to hand it in at 9 a.m

Q: In a chemical processing plant, a fluid (Benzene) must be delivered to point B with a pressure of 550 kPa. A pump is located at point A 21 m below point B, and the two points are connected by 240 m of plastic pipe (smooth pipe) having an inside diameter of 50 mm. If the volume flow rate is 110 L/min, calculate the required pressure at the outlet of the pump.
Take relative density of benzene  = 0.86 and its viscosity  = 4.2 x 10-4 Pa.s

here is the drawing click the link below:-

i know the rule is u don't do ours homework, but this time am stuck i don't know how to start and continue with it , so pleasez help
 


no one can could answer it !

am waiting =(
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
