ME312 Chp 4 Workbook Problem: Transient Tank Venting Consider the \"safety\" of the following situation. A chemical plant has eight identical spherical high-pressure gas storage tanks, each fabricated of 6000 kg of stainless steel with identical pressure relief valves and tall vent stacks. The tanks store hydrogen gas (H2), oxygen gas (O2), methane gas (CH4) and argon gas (Ar). The tanks are normally filled to capacity at a pressure of 2000 kPa and a temperature of 300 K. The tank pipe flanges or the entire tank may burst if pressure exceeds 3000 kPa or temperature exceeds 1000 K. A single tank burst may damage/injure other tanks, critical components or personnel nearby. Each tank has a pressure relief valve that must prevent damage during a \"worst case accident\
