A 1-in (internal diameter) pipe is used to supply water to a low-pressure tank with an MAWP of 20 psig. The water is supplied through a regulator from a source with a maximum pressure of 100 psig. Determine the diameter of a conventional spring-operated relief required to protect the vessel from a regulator failure. Be sure to state clearly any assumptions and your justifications for them.

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.4 inches

Explanation:

Determine the diameter required to protect the vessel from a regulator failure ( relief diameter )

A = [tex]\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]

Hence d = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }[/tex]  =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{4 * 9.08}{\pi } }[/tex]  = 3.4 inches

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
