Thanks guys for the response, I think I'm getting a better handle on the situation. I believe I was wrong to even think of doing an orifice calculation. I actually found an example problem in one of my old textbooks.
When I followed the text's example (it uses the Bernoulli equation with...
We are to assume the length of the pipe @ 100 ft for bidding. Also, I believe the exiting fluid is saturated liquid (at least initially). The pressure drop along the way to the blowdown tank is going to make the liquid flash, but I really haven't taken that into account. I was using just an...
...to blowdown tank) and I'm trying to calculate the maximum flow possible through the 1.5" line.
I know that volumetric flow = velocity * area, but I'm unsure how to calculate either the velocity or the volumetric flow. Should I use an orifice calculation or would bernoulli's equation...
...high) is determined? I have two differnt (or maybe the same?) ways, but am not sure which to use.
AISC has a table that depends on the value of (K1*L/r). There is a table for 36 and 50 ksi yield stress steel.
I have also seen the allowable stress defined as Fa = 0.6*Fy (Fy = yeild...
KRH:
Actually, I found them in the "Pressure vessel design manual" by Dennis Moss. In previous dealings with this book, I have learned to take his "knowledge" with a bit (quite a bit) of skepticism. Being a typical curious (and cautious) engineer I am wanting (mainly) to...
On the drawing, the effective bearing length looks to be the length of a triangular load (uniformly increasing - greatest on the outside of the base plate) from a point designated as the "pivot point" to the end of the base plate (covering a distance of "Y"). This load is...
...I am mainly confused about what is called the "bearing length" (Y) It is calculated by solving the following equation for Y:
Y^3 + K1*Y^2 + K2*Y + K3 = 0
where Y has units of (inches / cm / etc...) and K1, K2, K3 are all factors relating mainly to the moment force produced by the...

Cowtown: If you are getting 1.5 ppm boiler feed water, you need to check the operation of your Deaerator. The industry standard for BFW out of the DA is < 7ppb. I don't have a clue about the reaction kinetics mentioned above, but if it is oxygen limited, you should probably reduce the O2...
