Problem 1: A circular well with radius of 3.75 inches is drilled to a depth of 980 feet and is filled with saline brine with a density of 1.06gcm3.
(A) Convert all relevant quantities to SI units,
(B) What is the total weight of fluid in the well (in SI units and to 3 significant figures).
Problem 2: A bottle tank has a volume of 75 gallons and initially contains 35 kg of air (assumed to be an ideal gas) at 10 MPa absolute pressure at a temperature of 20C. A valve is opened and 2 MPa of pressure is slowly released so that the temperature is constant.
(A) Convert all relevant quantities to SI units,
(B) How many kg of gas are released? (3 figures, as always, OK, I'm going to stop reminding now),
(C) The bottle tank is located at sea level, what is the gage pressure after the gas is released?
(D) What is the change in the gage pressure if the bottle tank is moved outside and left to equilibrate with an outdoor temperature of 30C?
Problem 3: The specific weight of sea water at the surface is 63.6lbfft3. The absolute pressure at the surface is 14.7 psi. The pressure at a point deep in the ocean is 2500 psi. What is the seawater density at this point? Report your answer in lbft3 and take the bulk modulus of the sea water as 4.87105.
