A benzene pipeline that is 100 ft and runs horizontally arises a leak 43 feet from the high- pressure end. It is thought that the size of the leak is 0.1 inch. The pressure at the beginning of the pipeline is 50 psig, and the pressure at the end of the pipeline is 40 psig. Assume the average of pressure drop in the pipeline is 45.7 psig and the density of benzene is 54.9 lb/ft³. Gravitational constants is 32.17 ft-lbm/lbrs². (a) (b) (c) Use the information given to draw a picture of the pipeline. [4 Marks] [C01, PO2, C3] [CO1, PO4, C3] Estimate the mass flow rate of benzene through the leak. (Co=0.61) [12 Marks] [CO3, PO2, C4] [CO3, PO4, C4] Discuss the above release mechanism and provide TWO (2) examples.
