Explain the some guidelines for sizing a psv for a fire scenario on a vessel in a refinery service?..

Answer / Hiba Jainab

Some guidelines for sizing a pressure safety valve (PSV) for a fire scenario on a vessel in a refinery service include considering the maximum allowable working pressure, the expected overpressure during a fire, and the desired relief rate. Other factors to consider include the size and type of the vessel, the flammability of the contained fluid, and any local regulations or industry standards. It's important to ensure that the PSV is sized correctly to prevent overpressurization during a fire while also minimizing venting of potentially hazardous materials.

Question 66 – The drag coefficient Cd = 0.05 and lift coefficient Cl = 0.4 for a levelled flow aircraft are measured. The velocity of the aircraft is v = 150 ft / s with its weight W = 2677.5 pound-force. (a) Find the value of the lift of the aircraft, L, when it is also its weight. (b) The drag of the aircraft, D = Cd M, L = Cl M. Find the value of D. (c) The power required is P = Dv. If 1 pound-force x (ft / s) = 1.356 W, find the value of P in the unit of Watt or W.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.24 : (a) The net present value of an engineering project is given by V. Let Q = summation of [ T / (1 + I) ^ N ] from N = A to N = B, where P = project cost, T = tax inflow, N = duration. If V = P + Q where P = -$1000, T = $275, I = 0.12 (means 12 % , capital cost of project per year), A = 1 year, B = 5 years, calculate the value of V. (b) The present value tax shields are W = $ (11.9725, 9.1486, 6.5579, 4.1811, 2.0005) in 5 beginning balances of an engineering project. Find the adjusted present value of the engineering project X, when X = V + (summation of the values of W).

MICROBIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING - QUESTION 28.1 : In the calculation of the growth of bacteria, colony forming unit (CFU) in serial dilution is used. In a laboratory, viable count assay is used to estimate CFU. Formula applied is CFU / mL = (number of colonies x dilution) / (amount plated, in unit mL). Acceptable plate count is either between 20 and 200 or between 30 and 300 according to 2 different references. A wastewater sample of 200 ml is added to and mixed with 1.8 L of sterile water. Another 200 ml of the mixture is added to and mixed with 1.8 L of sterile water. (a) Calculate the dilution of first mixture and the dilution of the second mixture. (b) 100 microlitres of wastewater samples from the first mixture and the second mixture are placed separately on 2 different alga plates. The first plate has 250 colonies and the second plate has 23 colonies. Calculate the average CFU / mL.
