Thank you brimstoner and LittleInch for your replies.
Yes, I believe I have the correct data.
And no, this is not a take home exam.
My recollection of pressure vessel topics is a bit foggy because it's been 15 years since I graduated college and I have not had to use it in my particular...
The Pressure Vessel volume = 3140 ft^3
The ends are flat.
Tank and gas temperature is 70 deg F
Outside temperature is 60 deg F.
The hole size area is 3 in^2
I am concerned about the period of time from the moment of puncture until about 5 seconds after puncture occurs.
Thanks so much for...
Hi racookpe1978,
Thanks for the response.
I have finished all the classes needed (including fluid mechanics) for a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. However, it has been quite some time since I graduated college and I do not normally deal with pressure vessels in my daily work. I am sure...
Hello zdas04,
Thanks so much for posting the FAQ above. I have reviewed the FAQ, but I have a few questions...
The flow rate is given in MSCF (thousand standard cubic feet).
I am trying to find the remaining pressure in the vessel "x" amount of time after the vessel is punctured.
I figure...
I have a pressure vessel with a known pressure.
The pressure vessel is made from 7050 aluminum, 0.125" sheet thickness.
The pressure vessel is suddenly punctured, with a known hole size.
I am trying to determine the rate of pressure decrease after the puncture occurs.
I would like to plot...
