One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges is to Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods. The NAE defines carbon sequestration as "capturing the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels and storing it safely away from the atmosphere." The most promising storage location is underground, possibly in sedimentary brine formation. You are assigned to develop instrumentation to measure the properties of a brine formation, located 850 meters deep. Assume the instruments will feel an equivalent amount of pressure to the amount of hydrostatic pressure felt at the bottom of an 850 meter high column of brine, with a specific gravity of 1.30. To what hydrostatic pressure, in units of atmospheres, must the instrumentation be built to withstand?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
