    Latent heat - polyphosphoric acid

    Hi, I need to know the latent heat of vapourisation for polyphosphoric acid at ~atmospheric pressure (56mbarg) for a fire relief calculation. Unfortunately, the MSDS's I have seen just says: 'not pertinent' as they do with phosphoric acid. Is there any reason for this? Does it break down to...

    Acetone road tanker off-loading velocities

    All pipe velocities now at sensible low single figures! Many thanks for all the help and advice.

    Acetone road tanker off-loading velocities

    Thanks for the replies. The 12m/s will 'only' be transferring about 20litres of fluid. It will also be via a system where the velocity can be reduced as well hence from a process design point of view it will not be an issue. The client will have to make their basis of safety for those transfer...

    Acetone road tanker off-loading velocities

    Brilliant. Well, that sorts it out then. Many thanks.

    Acetone road tanker off-loading velocities

    HM, Thanks for the reply. Even if a system is fully bonded and you are using a non-conducting solvent one still needs to keep the velocity low otherwise a charge will build up in the fluid itself. Based on the NFPA information, I am assuming acetone will not build a static charge and I will...

    Acetone road tanker off-loading velocities

    Well, finally a question that has not been asked on the site that I need answering so here's my first post! I am designing a small acetone storage tank (5m3 volume) which needs to be filled from a road tanker. I am having problems working out a maximum pumping velocity as some literature say...
