I was wondering about design calculations for vacuum tanks loaded on trucks and their associated vacuum line accessories. At uni, I only ever worked on pressure vessels, and all calculations were based on a higher internal pressure than their surrounding atmosphere. Will these equations be the...
I' looking at calculating the theoretical flow rate of water through a vertical pipe. This pipe is modeling the suction pipe of a vacuum truck. I'm doing this in an attempt to prove a higher vacuum in the tank is better than a higher flow rate of air being removed from the tank to create the...
