Question

forty gal/min of a hydrocarbon fuel having a spesific gravity of 0.91 flow into a tank truck with load limit of 40,000 lb of fuel. How long will it takee to fill the tank in the truck?

Answer 1

Answer: 131.75minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First if all, we've to find the density of liquid which will be:

= Specific gravity × Density to pure water

= 0.91 × 8.34lb/gallon

= 7.59lb/gallon

Then, the volume that's required to fill the tank will be:

= Load limit/Density of fluid

= 40000/7.59

= 5270.1gallon

Now, the time taken will be:

= V/F

= 5270.1/40

= 131.75min

It'll take 131.75 minutes to fill the tank in the truck.
