    Calculate the pressure of propane in a vessel

    Is there an equation from where I can calculate the pressure of propane inside a tank if I know the temperature of the liquid? This pressure is constant, when the vapour and liquid phase come in equilibrium.

    Spherical tank calibration

    Hello, merry christmas to all. We have a pressure vessel, spherical tank for the storage of LPG. I am trying to find out any codes/standards that will guide me through this procedure. This tank is already calibrated by a strapping method. The first way was to measure a vertical and horizontal...

    LPG pipe sizing

    I am trying to calculate friction losses in a pipe in order to find out what size of pump I will need. LPG in a liquid state is transfered through this pipe. For this case am I supposed to assume the LPG liquid as an incompressible fluid and use the moody diagram? At the end consumers where...

    Calculate speed of water in pipe and drop of pressure

    Hello everyone, I have a problem trying to find the speed of water around 80 centigrade inside a pipe used for central heating. I know that: V=(G/(Pi*D^2/4))*(1/3600) in (m/sec) where G is flow rate of water in m^3/hour D diameter of pipe and Pi = 3.14 The results I get are close to the...
