the highest possible pressure in the tank on the suction side is 28 psi [ this is how much we must empty it]
The pressure at compressor inlet is what it is -function of pressure losses along the line from A to compressor but cannot be below atmospheric.
We already have a full computer model of...
regarding isothermal process
I fully agree with you David and I think that my statement was not that the process was naturally isothermal but that "temperature was controlled otherwise". In fact, the gas system is part of a bigger plant and the layout is such that the tank and the line can be...
HI guys thaks for all these comments.
here are a few answers
1 It is NOT a homework problem but a REAL LIFE situation. If you read my question above, I was /am NOT asking anybody to solve it for free but I am asking If somebody is aware of a comparable problem having already been worked...
OK sorry for not being clear enough let me try to clarify:
Initially,
Tank A is at 4000psi and B at 28 PSI
One need to move gas from A to B until
A is at 28 PSI and B 4000 PSI
Once this is achieved, gas flow is reversed until
A is at 4000 PSI again and B at 28PSI.... .. and so forth...
HI there,
This is my first post here but I have not found anything relevant to my problem.
I have to work on modernizing a process that involve moving potentially explosive gas.
My real life experience with compressor as of today is ZERO, so please bear with me. I know I have a lot to learn...
