I think the smaller refineries make those higher octane additives and speciality oils, so they have a better margin. From what I've found out, larger refineries might have a break even year or two, then they get a pretty damn good one. Surprisingly enough that's when the oil prices are going...
Runway is 3500m (11500ft) and the dust cloud after rotation seems to say they used every inch of it. FlightRadar24 corrected their initial position to show they used the full runway. There appears to be a missing ADSB transmission before receiving a position much farther down the runway...
Anybody have a flight track file?
FlightRadar24
Initial ADS-B data from flight #AI171 shows that the aircraft reached a maximum barometric altitude of 625 feet (airport altitude is about 200 feet) and then it started to descend with an vertical speed of -475 feet per minute.
They'll have to walk around with their little Casios.
Why can't LLMs hand off their calculations to XL?
I checked with https://checalc.com/solved/gasPipeSizing.html
The General, or AGA equation should be used.
This pipe is too small and short to use other equations.
That gives flows 4x the...
No, although I think conversing with AI for long periods of time has had a significant effect on my writing style.
Why do V-Loops have lower allowable pressures as size increases?
Is "Because size increases." not a perfectly logical, if not obvious, answer to the question asked?
I am...
They're about as close to no load, no restraint as you can get. Always used on refinery heat exchanger pedestals. Make the top pad larger than the bottom to keep out the dirt and sand and thereby reduce wear.
Elon and his 4 coders will take up the slack.
Just tell us what planet you want to go to.
We can simulate anything.
AI makes very good pictures of anything nobody has ever seen before and hopefully never will again.
3rd world? Such high hopes you have.
Because size increases.
Consider 2 pipes
One is 10" diameter, one is 20"
Both have walls 1" thick.
Allowable Stress in the walls = 500 psi
Calculate allowable pressure
Take a 1" length of pipe.
Wall Area is 2 walls x 1"wt x 1"length = 2in^2
Stress = PD/2/wt
Stress x 2 x wt / D = P
For 10" pipe...
I need to design a 10-inch steel pipeline that will carry 1000 PSIG of natural gas with a steel yield stress of 52,000 psi and a design factor of 0.72, you can use the design formula specified in 49 CFR § 192.105:
$$
P = \frac{2St}{D} \times F \times E \times T
$$
Where:
- \( P \) is the...
to determine the flow rate of natural gas in a 10-inch steel pipe that is 5000 feet long, with an inlet pressure of 100 psia and an outlet pressure of 75 psia, we can use the Weymouth equation, which is suitable for high-pressure gas pipelines. According to the context, the Weymouth equation is...
You will need to reevaluate the pipeline's stability in regards to buoyancy.
If it's unstable, you may need to increase the pipe's weight with saddle blocks, or concrete coating the pipe, or some other means. I have used screw anchors in such situations. They are often cheaper and easier to...
I agree with Snickster's approach. Consider it as a vertical pipe with an end cap load. Reactions at all supports on the vertical pipe are thereafter distributed according to the stiffness of the supporting points. If the first support is fully rigid, the end cap load cannot go any further up...
A= angle from vertical
Total Buoyant Force = 22,000 lbs
Weight in air = 170,000 lbs
Weight in water = 148,000 lbs
Think of the pipe being closed with a welded end plate with area =4.96 in2
The axial load on the bottom of the pipe due to pressure =
4.96/144 * 10,000 *64 pcf * cos(A)
The...
