    Vertical Vessel Orifice Drain Impacting Inclined Surface Force Calculation

    Thanks all. Yes this is a coker vessel discharging through a 60-inch knife valve. Pet coke slurry is anywhere from 0.9 specific gravity up to 1.7 specific gravity, but that just factors out as the FOS in design, easier to use 62.4 for the calcs. I used Cd=0.5 instead of Cd=0.8 for initial report...

    Vertical Vessel Orifice Drain Impacting Inclined Surface Force Calculation

    Have 100 feet liquid level vertical vessel discharging water through large diameter orifice by gravity. The draining orifice jet impinges on an inclined deflector 12 feet below the 60-inch discharge valve. Used Bernoulli's equation for the initial fully-open valve flow: Q(0) = 0.5 [√ (2 ·...

    Braced Frame Lateral Shock Loading Connection Detailing in Arctic

    Structure: 3-story industrial braced-frame tower, story heights ~= 0.85 square foot print dimensions. Scenario: Structure supports vertical loads on four columns, with lateral loads in *only one* direction. One face supports twice the vertical dead load and live load of the other face, by load...
