I need help finding out how fast 120 psi will travel though a 3 inch tube in mph. My partners are counting on me and thanks to anyone that can help me.
When you say 120 PSI you are talking about a pressure. Flow is a different variable. For instance you could say I have a tube with 120 PSI in it, say 3 inch diameter and 4 feet long and it is enclosed so that is the total volume and we open a valve quickly to another tube say also 3 inch diameter and 4 feet long and at a vacuum level of 1 millitorr, you could do a speed calculation but just a tube with 120 PSI in it does not indicate flow so the speed would be zero there.Joey Bradshaw said:I need help finding out how fast 120 psi will travel though a 3 inch tube in mph.

PSI stands for "pounds per square inch" and is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It is a measure of the amount of force exerted on a given area.
The purpose of a school project about PSI is to educate students about a unit of pressure that is commonly used in everyday life. This project can also help students understand how pressure is measured and its real-world applications.
PSI is commonly used in measuring tire pressure, water pressure in plumbing systems, and air pressure in inflatable objects like balloons or sports equipment. It is also used in scuba diving to measure the air pressure in a tank.
To calculate PSI, you divide the force exerted on a given area by the area itself. This can be represented by the formula PSI = Force/Area. For example, if a force of 100 pounds is exerted on an area of 10 square inches, the PSI would be 10 (100/10 = 10).
Understanding PSI is important because it is a common unit of pressure used in various industries and everyday life. It can also help us understand the effects of pressure on different objects and how to use it safely and effectively.
