I was wondering about design calculations for vacuum tanks loaded on trucks and their associated vacuum line accessories. At uni, I only ever worked on pressure vessels, and all calculations were based on a higher internal pressure than their surrounding atmosphere. Will these equations be the...
Thanks alot for that. I now have a new problem. I need to compare two pumps, and one will suck up water into the vacuum tank the same way as you would with drinking through a straw, it would all be liquid in the pipe. The other pump cannot create enough vacuum in the tank to lift only water in...
I' looking at calculating the theoretical flow rate of water through a vertical pipe. This pipe is modeling the suction pipe of a vacuum truck. I'm doing this in an attempt to prove a higher vacuum in the tank is better than a higher flow rate of air being removed from the tank to create the...
