AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the appropriate working pressure for a pneumatic filling machine designed to fill 100 ml per bottle in six seconds using seven cylinders. The machine features four cylinders with a diameter of 2 inches, one cylinder of 3.5 inches, and two cylinders of 0.75 inches, all operating simultaneously through a PLC. Participants are prompted to consider relevant equations and calculations necessary for establishing the required air pressure and compressor capacity. The inquiry suggests a need for practical engineering knowledge rather than a purely academic approach. Accurate pressure determination is essential for optimal machine performance and efficiency.

im designing a pneumatic filling machine with four filling heads. in all 7 cylinders are working simultaneously through p l c. the filling volume will be 100 ml/bottle within 6 seconds. what should be the working pressure of air so that i can decide the capacity of compressor.
the bore size of the cylinders are mentioned below.
dia 2 inches -- 4 cylinders
dia 3.5 inches -- 1 cylider
dia 0.75 inches -- 2 cylinder

Welcome to the PF.

What have you done so far? What equations should you use? Is this a schoolwork project?
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
