Consider a valve body for inline flow simply described as three coaxial cylinders. An inlet, central body and an outlet. All round and the inlet/outlet of the same diameter. The Central body is a larger diameter.
My question is when determining the wall of the central body, do we not use 2/3...
After reviewing the appropriateness of a FA, or any safety equipment, I would suggest that the implications of failure be considered and also look at the cost of an installed FA vs. the values of the equipment, the stored product, the facility and not least human life and safety.
I think we...
If the budget is really tight, don't ignore buying used books. Abebooks.com and Alibris.com are excellent sources for locating tech books. After all is said, the new books become used and basic tech books are really fundamental and useful for years.

I want to thank all for your answers, and I do have TP-410 but have been suspicious of their equation. I don't have access to the reference mentioned by Latexman.
My annulus is quite small, a fraction of an inch in diameter and using the method described in the faq I get an effective diameter...
I have need to determine laminar flow in an annulus, and I am not sure what to use for the diameter (hydraulic diameter).
My references tell me that hydraulic radius or diameter is not applicable to laminar flow. So my question is what "diameter" should be used to calculate Re as well as flow...
I would suggest that a fire can cause the tank contents to boil, and raise the pressure in the tank, if adequate venting is not available.
Careful consideration should be given to this. API 2000 6th edition in para. 4.3.3.3.2 has an equation for determining the required venting capacity, based...
To my knowledge, SA 307B is limited to -20F (-29C) and the allowable stress is 7,000 psi (48MPa). (ASME VIII Div 1 and ASME II, D)
Am I missing something here?

I am not familiar with these codes so please bear that in mind. What I am is curious about this situation. Considering the value of such a large tank, would the following offer a sensible way to evaluate the tank condition, if it is not contrary to a code?
Using NDT evaluate the shell at the...

These are helpful. I quick read shows me that this is similar to what was in the pub. that I referenced.
I will also continue to try to collect (recollect) some of that information.
Thanks to both of you.

Yes, I could not find it online.
Being it is the weekend, I cannot call until tomorrow. It is a shame in that many companies have stopped publishing on paper, but they did not put these valuable resources on line either.
But then, I am the one who lost his copies.....

AT one time I had a series of publications from Carpenter, one of which dealt with the Galling of Stainless Steels. It described the performance of different combinations in contact.
I have no idea what happened to them.
Does anyone know if this publication is available anywhere, or even...
Here is my source. See p. 4.

Thanks for the spreadsheets. They look interesting. I shall see what I can do with them. But my viscosity is about 1cS at 40C so that one will not work.
