Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is hoop's stresses in pipes and their ratios.
  • Ans. 

    Hoop stresses in pipes are circumferential stresses that occur due to internal pressure, and their ratios are important for determining the safety of the pipe.

    • Hoop stress is calculated using the formula: P*D/2t, where P is the internal pressure, D is the diameter of the pipe, and t is the thickness of the pipe wall.

    • The ratio of hoop stress to longitudinal stress is important in determining the safety factor of the pipe...

  • Ans. 

    NPSH available stands for Net Positive Suction Head available, which is a measure of the absolute pressure at the suction port of a pump.

    • NPSH available is the total suction head in feet absolute at the suction nozzle of the pump.

    • It is important for ensuring that the pump does not cavitate, which can cause damage to the pump and decrease efficiency.

    • NPSH available is calculated by subtracting the vapor pressure of the li...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. How to calculate NPSH
  • Ans. 

    NPSH is calculated by subtracting the vapor pressure of the liquid from the total head of the pump.

    • NPSH = H - (Pv / rho * g)

    • H is the total head of the pump

    • Pv is the vapor pressure of the liquid

    • rho is the density of the liquid

    • g is the acceleration due to gravity

    • Ensure all units are consistent (e.g. meters, Pascal, kg/m^3, m/s^2)

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Draw two phase system p&ID
  • Ans. 

    A two-phase system P&ID shows the process flow of a system with two distinct phases.

    • Identify the two phases involved in the system (e.g. liquid-gas, solid-liquid).

    • Use different symbols to represent each phase on the P&ID.

    • Show the flow direction and connections between components in the system.

    • Include labels and legends to explain the components and their functions.

    • Ensure clarity and consistency in the representation of
