On a centrifugal compressor.
assume normally operating at a suction of 10 bar (constant, very large volume tank) and a discharge of 100 bar. Flowrate of 100m3/h.
Recirculation line for full flow, going from high pressure to low pressure rated piping (note, NOT back to source tank).
There is...
Theoretical question:
On a centrifugal compressor.
assume normally operating at a suction of 10 bar (constant, very large volume tank) and a discharge of 100 bar. Flowrate of 100m3/h.
If I have a blocked outlet and a recirculation line which is grossly oversized (worst case scenario), what...
I have a fairly large (100m3) expansion tank in a closed loop hot oil system.
the cases looked at include:
Gas blow through due to blanketing failure,
Gas blow through due to user failure - tube rupture
Thermal expansion of the liquid (ambient to working pressure)
they are all relatively small...
We are having a big debate here on the properties of CO2 at high pressures, and a lot of the confusion is related to reading the phase diagram (Pressure/Enthalpy) for CO2.
If we start at 250 bar / 100oC (supercritical) and transport in a pipeline far away with a destination pressure of 150 bar...
I have an exchanger and piping with HyydroCarbon which is protected by a PRV.
The exchanger is a steam heater and the steam is hot enough to vaporise the HC.
The Critical conditions of the HC stream are significantly below the set pressure of the PRV;
What happens to the vaporisation rate or...
A hydrocarbon pipe is going through an 800 ft underground tunnel with other hydrocarbon lines. Each line has automatic block valves on either end, just before going into the tunnel, and can therefore be blocked in. The tunnel has foam injectors at either end and leak detectors at every 100 ft...
