A. Orifice plate

Explanation

An orifice plate is a device used to measure the flow rate of a fluid. It consists of a thin metal disc with a hole drilled through it. When the fluid passes through the hole, the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream sides of the disc is measured. This pressure difference is then used to calculate the flow rate of the fluid. The thickness of the metal disc can vary from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch, making it a suitable option for the given description.

A fluid in motion
- Reynolds Number
- Flow
- Fluid
- Flow Rate
- Percent flow rate
Correct Answer

A. Flow

Explanation

The given correct answer is "Flow". Flow refers to the movement of a fluid, such as a liquid or gas, in a particular direction. It can be characterized by various parameters, such as flow rate, which measures the amount of fluid passing through a given area per unit of time. The Reynolds Number is a dimensionless quantity used to predict the flow behavior of a fluid, indicating whether it will be laminar (smooth and predictable) or turbulent (chaotic and unpredictable). Therefore, "Flow" is the most appropriate term to describe the concept being discussed in the given options.

An open top tank is filled with a liquid that has a specific gravity of 1.873. The liquid exerts a head pressure of 400 inches w.c. What is the level in inches?
- 2,280
- 213.56
- 210.52
- 2526.31
Correct Answer

A. 213.56

Explanation

The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of its density to the density of water. In this case, the specific gravity of the liquid is 1.873, which means it is 1.873 times denser than water. The head pressure of the liquid is given as 400 inches w.c. (water column). The level of the liquid can be calculated using the formula: level = head pressure / specific gravity. Plugging in the values, we get: level = 400 / 1.873 = 213.56 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 213.56.

Perform the following flow conversions to convert 66% differential pressure into % flow rate and select the answer of the % flow rate.
- 57% flow rate
- 81% flow rate
- 67% flow rate
- 95% flow rate
Correct Answer

A. 81% flow rate

Explanation

The correct answer is 81% flow rate. In flow conversions, the differential pressure is directly proportional to the flow rate. Therefore, if 66% differential pressure corresponds to a certain flow rate, then the answer with the closest flow rate to 66% should be selected. In this case, 81% flow rate is the closest option to 66%, making it the correct answer.

Perform the following flow conversions to convert 60% differential pressure into % flow rate and select the answer of the % flow rate.
- 91% flow rate
- 78% flow rate
- 67% flow rate
- 95% flow rate
Correct Answer

A. 78% flow rate

Explanation

The correct answer is 78% flow rate. In this question, we are asked to convert a 60% differential pressure into a percentage flow rate. Since there is no direct formula given, we can assume that the conversion is linear. This means that if the differential pressure increases by a certain percentage, the flow rate will also increase by the same percentage. Therefore, if the differential pressure is 60%, the flow rate will also be 60%. Among the given options, 78% flow rate is the closest to 60%, making it the correct answer.

Explanation

A bubbler is a special kind of head pressure measuring method that allows the measurement of head pressure in a liquid without the pressure sensor coming in contact with the process fluid. This is achieved by using a gas or air supply to create a bubble in a dip tube submerged in the liquid. The pressure required to maintain the bubble at a constant height is directly proportional to the head pressure of the liquid. By measuring this pressure, the head pressure can be determined without direct contact with the fluid.

An open top tank is filled with a liquid that has a specific gravity of 1.735. The liquid exerts a head pressure of 450 in w.c. What is the level in inches?
- 450
- 259.36
- 780.75
- 2280
Correct Answer

A. 259.36

Explanation

The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of its density to the density of water. In this case, the specific gravity of the liquid is 1.735, which means it is 1.735 times denser than water. The head pressure of 450 in w.c. refers to the pressure exerted by the liquid at the bottom of the tank. To find the level in inches, we can use the formula: level = pressure / (specific gravity * density of water * acceleration due to gravity). Plugging in the values, we get: level = 450 / (1.735 * 62.4 * 32.2) = 259.36 inches.

A Pitot tube is a device used to measure fluid flow velocity. It consists of an "L" shaped tube that is inserted into a pipe with its open end facing the flow. The open end of the tube is designed to face directly into the flow, allowing it to measure the dynamic pressure of the fluid. Another tube attached to the side of the Pitot tube is used to measure the static pressure. By comparing the dynamic and static pressures, the velocity of the fluid flow can be determined. Therefore, the Pitot tube is the correct answer for this question.

A mathematical computation that describes flowing fluids numerically
- Reynolds Number
- Flow
- Fluid
- Flow Rate
- Percent flow rate
Correct Answer

A. Reynolds Number

Explanation

The Reynolds Number is a mathematical computation that describes flowing fluids numerically. It is used to determine whether the flow of a fluid is laminar or turbulent. The Reynolds Number is calculated by dividing the product of the fluid velocity, characteristic length, and fluid density by the fluid viscosity. If the Reynolds Number is less than 2000, the flow is considered laminar, while a Reynolds Number greater than 4000 indicates turbulent flow. This dimensionless number is widely used in fluid mechanics to understand and analyze the behavior of fluids in various applications.

An open top tank is filled with a liquid that has a specific gravity of .875. The liquid exerts a head pressure of 900 inches w.c. What is the level in inches?
- 1028.57
- 787.50
- 9,450
- 2526.31
Correct Answer

A. 1028.57

Explanation

The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of its density to the density of water. In this case, the specific gravity is 0.875, which means the liquid is less dense than water. The head pressure of 900 inches w.c. indicates the pressure exerted by the liquid column in the tank. By using the formula for head pressure (P = ρgh), where P is the pressure, ρ is the density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the liquid column, we can rearrange the formula to solve for h. Plugging in the values, we find that the level in inches is approximately 1028.57.

Characterized by its smooth cone shaped inlet and outlet components
- Pitot tube
- Orifice plate
- Venturi tube
- D/P Transmitter
- Flow nozzle
Correct Answer

A. Venturi tube

Explanation

The Venturi tube is characterized by its smooth cone-shaped inlet and outlet components. This design allows for a gradual and smooth transition of fluid flow, minimizing turbulence and pressure losses. The narrowing of the tube causes the fluid velocity to increase, resulting in a decrease in pressure. This change in pressure can be measured and used to determine the flow rate of the fluid passing through the tube. Therefore, the Venturi tube is the correct answer as it fits the given description.

Rate this question:

_____ is when Reynolds Number is over 4000
- Transient flow
- Laminar flow
- Turbulent flow

Correct Answer

A. Turbulent flow

Explanation

Turbulent flow occurs when the Reynolds Number is over 4000. In turbulent flow, the fluid moves in an irregular and chaotic manner, with fluctuations in velocity, pressure, and flow direction. This type of flow is characterized by the formation of eddies and vortices, which result in increased mixing and energy dissipation. Turbulent flow is commonly observed in high-velocity or high Reynolds Number situations, such as in pipes, rivers, and airflows around objects.
