A 0.7 ft diameter hole forms in a tank containing butane at 19 atmg and 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Determine the maximum possible mass flow rate through this leak in lb m / min, if the external pressure is 1 atm.

Q = 3,534.4 lbm/s = 212,062 lbm/min

Explanation:

Mass flowrate of discharge or leakage mass flowrate (Q) is given as

Q = AC₀√(2ρgP)

A = Cross sectional Area of leakage = (πD²/4) = (π×0.7²)/4

A = 0.385 ft²

C₀ = discharge coefficient = 0.98 (For maximum discharge flow rate, the flow is turbulent with discharge coefficient within 1% of 0.98)

ρ = density of butane at 76°F = 35.771 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 lbm.ft/lbf.s²

P = Gauge Pressure in the tank = (absolute pressure) - (external pressure) = 19 - 1 = 18 atm = 38091.9 lbf/ft²

Q = AC₀√(2ρgP)

Q = (0.385)(0.98)√(2×35.771×32.2×38091.9)

Q = 3,534.4 lbm/s = 212,062 lbm/min

Hope this Helps!!!

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
