    How to calculate the time required to open a valve to inflate a balloon?

    Thank you! This is for an undergraduate project I am working on. I am pressurising a reservoir and attaching an electronically controlled solenoid valve to the tank, which I will actuate to release pressure via a pipe, to a balloon. I have an idea that relates to Bernoulli's Equation and so...

    How to calculate the time required to open a valve to inflate a balloon?

    Problem Statement: I have a canister (0.15L Volume). This will be filled with compressed air. A solenoid valve attached has a diameter of 2mm, and the air will flow through this into a pipe which leads to a balloon. The pipe diameter is 3mm, with a length of 300mm. The pressure required to...
