A section of pipeline is being lowered from a vessel to the sea bed. Assuming that the section of pipe is vertical whilst it is being lowered, at what point in the process will the wave forces be maximum? You should illustrate your answer with a sketch and refer to equations to explain why the forces are at their maximum in this position

A pipeline is to be inspected. There is a 10% chance that any 100ft section of pipeline will contain at least one defect (thinning walls, weld defect, etc). Assume the sections are independent (whether one sections fails or not is independent of whether other sections fail or not). What is the probability that, given 2 defective sections have been found so far, that exactly 12 sections of pipeline have been inspected? What is the probability that, given 50 sections have...

1. Crude oil flows through an uphill section of the Keystone pipeline at a rate of 2.94 m3 /s (equivalent to 1.6 million barrels of day). The average elevation gain in the section of pipeline is 10 m per kilometer. The pipe diameter is 1.2m. The maximum allowable pressure in the pipe (at the inlet) is 8.27 MPa; the minimum pressure (at the exit) required is 3.45kPa. The crude oil has density 930kg/m3 and a dynamic viscosity of 1.68×10-2 Pa.s....

A 300 kg piano is being lowered into position by a crane while two people steady it with ropes pulling to the sides. Bob's rope pulls to the left, 11 ∘ below the horizontal, with 330 N of tension. Ellen's rope pulls toward the right, 28 ∘ below the horizontal. Part A What tension must Ellen maintain in her rope to keep the piano descending vertically at a constant speed? Express your answer in newtons. Part B What is the...

A pipeline is constructed to transfer drinking water from the top of a lake to a open top storage tank of a village. The distance from the lake to the storage tank is 15 km and the elevation of the storage tank is 500 m above the lake. The water demand of the village is 4.15 liters per second. The diameter and roughness of the pipe are 15 cm and 0.26 mm, respectively. There are four valves (K=2) and two...

A pressure vessel is being designed to hold compressed methane to fuel a liquid rocket motor at a maximum pressure of 50 bar. If the methane is to be stored at 40 bar, -18 C, determine the mass contained in a 10 m3 tank using the following assumptions: a) The ideal gas equation of state. b) The van der Waals equation of state. c) Using CoolProp. Comment on the accuracy of each.

An oil company wants to build a pipeline to take oil from an oil well to a refinery. Unfortunately, the well and the refinery are on either side of a straight river which is 10 miles wide, and they are 50 miles apart along the coastline (that is, if you want to go from the well to the refinery you must first cross 10 miles of river and then go 50 miles along the side of the river). The company...
