Not really sure how to word the title better!
Anyway, I'm looking at how I could design and do some basic flow calculations regarding compressed air.
The idea is to have a tank of highly compressed air piped to a tank of water. When the valve between them is opened, the compressed air rushes into the water tanks, forcing the water out of pipes at high velocity.
That's the plan anyway. Would this work, and how could I calculate how much air I need, the air pressure/compression ratio, flow rate of the water out of the tanks? Given I know how much water I want to force out.
Any help is appreciated since the only information I've been able to find so far is based on Super Soaker water guns...
