How to calculate the sonic velocity of a gas stream?
Answer Posted / priyankar talukdar
V sonic,G = SQRT(κ*R*T/MWG)
is the sonic velocity if only gas is present (presence of liquid ignored)[m/s]
where:
R is the gas constant (8314 J/kmol/K)
T is the absolute temperature
κ is the ratio of the specific heats (Cp/Cv)=1.4 for most of diatomic gases
MWG is the mean molecular weight of the gas phase

What is a good method of steam tracing large vessels?
X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
