Pls, does anyone has a methode for determination of the required minimum static head above a exit pipe in order to avoid a vortex? The use of vortex breaker is unavailable.
The fluid is hot water (240 Celsius)
Thanks.
I have a solution for this problem in Chapter 10.11 of Roark, but the load case refers to constant pressure over all surface. Does anyone has a paper of Mr. Mah, G.B.J. (a proceeding of American Society of Civil Engineers - Mech. Eng. Div., vol 95, no. 5, October 1969)? According to Mr. Roark...
prex,
you are quite right.
The stresses I have to determine are due to static head of fluid contained inside the horizontal tank.
I did not find a load case for such situation.
