A single-line steel riser-pipeline system of OD = 7-in is designed for operating pressure of 3000 psig to transport oil (oil = 55 lb/ft3) from a subsea well (at 5000-ft water depth) to a buoyed turret connected to it. It is required to design turret buoyancy tanks volume such that it is 1000-ft below water level when not attached to a vessel. Given the following information: • Seawater density (water = 64 lb/ft3) • Steel density (s = 490 lb/ft3), steel yield strength (65 ksi) • Pipe design SF = 0.6 • Pipe design criteria a = P*D/2*t, where P is pressure, D ≈ OD, t is wall thickness, a is allowable stress. • Weight of turret and its mooring system Wt ≈ 5000 lb. • Buoyancy force Fb = Volume * water. • Free hanging catenary length ≈ 1.3* water depth • ID = OD-2*t Determine: a) The minimum buoyancy volume required for the turret. b) The required winch tension to bring turret to sea surface while attached to riser-pipeline system.

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
