Welding a 4" WOL on a std wt 10" live fuel line. The fuel is gasoline. This line runs from a tank farm some miles away to a port. We are sure the line is completely purged of all air. It would be very difficult to have any flow during the operation.
Must there be a minimum flow to weld...
I am looking for technical literature on in-tank pneumatic blending of fuel oil with a cutter stock to achieve a lower viscosity product. Several people in the local market say “no problem, get a compressor, install an air spider in the bottom of the tank, and let her rip.” And, “we do this all...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I don’t do heat transfer very often so I thought I post my problem and make sure I’m handling this correctly.
I need to heat asphalt in a tank using pipe coils circulating hot oil. The tank will be agitated and the one-day temperature change would be 307-F to 310-F or...
Can anybody please recommend an practical book on heat transfer. Heat transfer is generally outside my field but once in a while I get involved in a heat transfer problems. I'm most interested in heat losses through vessels, pipe lines, and tank coils. I'm looking for practical information...
I am designing a pipeline to transport #6 fuel oil from an off-shore mooring to a terminal. Distance from the terminal to the shore is 5-miles and the line will be buried for the entire run. The distance from the shore to the mooring is 1.5-miles. The product is #6F.O. with a 400cSt viscosity...
I have a project in which I need to maintain heavy fuel oil at 120F inside a very large API-650 fuel tank. We will use a steam boiler with internal coils supplied by Brown Fintube or similar. I need to know what the total heat-load will be so I can size the boiler. I have extensive and...
