How much time does it take to drain an elevated water tank through a 14 inch pipe by gravity?
More info is needed. What is the elevation of the bottom of the tank relative to the outlet of the 14" pipe? How much liquid is in the tank, and what are the tank dimensions? What is the shape of the tank (cone, vertical, horizontal, sphere?) How many fittings (elbows, turns, half-open valves etc.) are along the length of the pipe? How much pressure is being applied to the surface of the liquid in the tank or is it open to the atmosphere? Try this formula for a vertical tank with straight sides open to the atmosphere: t = pi * D2 / Cd / A *sqrt (h / 8 / G) where t = time in seconds pi = 3.14 D = tank diameter (feet) Cd = orifice coefficient (use 0.61 for a sharp edge orifice) A = cross-sectional area of outlet pipe (square feet; A = pi * pipe diameter2 / 4) h = height of liquid in tank plus height of bottom of tank above pipe outlet (feet) G = gravitational acceleration (32.2 ft/sec2)

How much electricity required to develop 1 bar pressure in a compressor?
None! A tank at atmospheric pressure already has an absolute pressure of 1.013 bar.
How do power plants work?
A diesel engine converts the energy contained in the diesel fuel into mechanical energy in the form of rotation of a shaft. The shaft turns a generator which is essentially a magnet contained within a coil of wire. The generator converts the rotational energy into a voltage across the coil - electrical energy. Diesel plants are used primarily in two applications: 1. There is a need for an emergency source of backup electrical power, and the relatively low 'first cost' of diesel generation combined with its ability to start up rather rapidly (often in 10 sec or less) are attractive features. Incidentally, there is a special case of this 'emergency' application - in the entertainment industry, it is common for diesel gensets to be used to power lights and sound for special events. For example, rock musicians often bring in special diesel power plants to support their performances rather than relying on the available commercial supplier. Another special case is that for the past several cycles, NBC's broadcasts of the Olympics have been powered by diesel gensets. Olympics venues are often in remote areas where the existing power infrastructure is limited and it doesn't make economic sense to expand those facilities for games lasting only two-three weeks. Also, that has allowed NBC to design one set of broadcast equipment so that they don't have to deal with the fact that the frequency of indigenous power infrastructure varies from one host country to the next. 2. There is a need for a base-load source of modest size and low first cost. This is most often the case in areas where there is no commercial power supplier, and the amount of capacity that is needed is relatively small. The downside of diesel plants include: 1. They are very noisy. 2. They are not very efficient - diesel engines produce a lot of waste heat. Practical economies exist only if there are no local sources of fuel, and the cost of transporting diesel fuel is favorable compared with the cost of bringing in the fuels required for alternative technologies. 3. Diesel fuel has to be transported to and stored on the site. Diesel power plants that have operated for a number of years in developing areas are typically horrible examples of environmental contamination. 4. The airborn effluent from diesel plants is noxious. 5. Diesel engines require a lot of maintenance.
Can a smoke make a diesel tank full of diesel explode?
Under the right circumstances it sure can. If you could douse the cigarette directly into the diesel it probably would not explode. The problem is the fumes. The fumes ignite first and then the diesel explodes. It is even quicker and more violent with gasoline.
Can diesel fuel explode?
yes
Will a petrol engine smoke if run with diesel?
Yes, it will smoke and will not run correctly, if at all. Diesel fuel will not explode and instead produce smoke. It can also clog your fuel injection. If diesel is added to a gasoline tank, the fuel should be removed. If there is too much diesel mixed in, the engine will likely not run at all.
Is it ok to put unleaded gas in diesel tank?
No. Do not put unleaded gas in a diesel tank.
What can happen if refrigerator storage tank is overfilled?
the tank may explode
What can happen if a refrigerant storage tank is overfilled?
the tank may explode
Why doesn't the gasoline explode when the car gas tank is full?
There is no reason for gasoline to explode in a tank. There is no heat or spark source in there. But the basic answer might be that there is little to no air (specifically oxygen) in the tank.
How many gallon gas tank does a 2001 f250 diesel?
2001 ford diesel has a 36 gallon tank
Can you explode a glass tank using steam?
You can explode anything using steam if the pressure is high enough.
Why doesn't the gasoline in a car's gas tank explode when the gas cap is removed?
Because there is no spark or flame present. If the tank is full it wont even explode if you throw a match in it, However if the tank has a large area that has no liquid fuel in it then the addition of a lit match or spark will cause it to explode.
How much compression does it take to explode diesel?
you light it on fire dahhhhhh loser
What happens when you put diesel in the radiator?
All the hoses go soft and explode.
