    Cold blowdown of vessel through orifice - thermodynamical explanation

    No one has yet commented upon the statements from Campbell and Perry handbooks (recognized bibles for process engineers) Campbell in chapter "basic thermodynamic concepts" writes that work is zero unless some mechanisms is provided for its transfer; pumps, compressors, turbines and expanders...

    Cold blowdown of vessel through orifice - thermodynamical explanation

    Thanks Compositepro, but I do not think the explanation of J-T in Wikipedia is clearcut and easy to understand, do you ?

    Cold blowdown of vessel through orifice - thermodynamical explanation

    Latexman! I wrote "I presume this is valid also for an orifice". i.e. isenthalpic. It is in the VESSEL to be blown down the process may be said to be close to isentropic. Over the valve/orifice it is isenthalpic ΔH = 0, but look here: In Perry Handbook chapter 6-22 "Fluid and particle dynamics"...

    Cold blowdown of vessel through orifice - thermodynamical explanation

    My understanding increases hopefully Chicopee [smile], I have now read several other explanations in forums elsewhere and none describe it as work Morten A. Virtually all, describes it as an isentropic process in vessel- and over the valve as an isenthalpic process, as you said. Isenthalpic...

    Cold blowdown of vessel through orifice - thermodynamical explanation

    thread124-102901 thread798-136301 thread124-202829 thread798-242307 Hi, could someone in a very simple way explain why: the process upstream the orifice influencing the vessel is so-called "isentropic" and downstream the orifice (flare tailpipe, headers) the process is "isenthalpic", is...

    Experience from using passive fire protection in Hysys blowdown calculations?

    thread391-38740 I imagine the required input is amongst others; Cp, thermal conductivity and density of the fire insulation. Has somebody run a case and applied the required input papameters and gained some learning to share?

    Pump NPSH calculation spreadsheets or web sites

    very useful web-site about pumps. NPSH-formula is quite simple, it can be calculated "stand-alone". But dP pipe inlet and outlet has to be calc. separately. In the offshore engineering business e.g Crane calculation spreadsheet can be used for that part. What I sought for was a spreadsheet...

    Pump NPSH calculation spreadsheets or web sites

    want a more specific recommendation

    Pump NPSH calculation spreadsheets or web sites

    what is the best pump calculation web site or spreadsheet you ever have come over? Please send it! It has to contain the possibility of pressure drop calculation for inlet and outlet piping
