    Pressure Equalization -- speed and time of duration

    Depends. How "upper bound estimate". Equalization time is less than 2-3 seconds. If the estimate is too WAG, the velocity would be inaccurate. Depends on time "x" assumption

    Pressure Equalization -- speed and time of duration

    OK, no problem. I am not trained in Flow Engineering. OK, here are the pressures and volumes of each vessel.. P1 = 13.41 PSIA P2= .0016424 V1 = 12759.5 Ft^3 14ft diameter x 80ft long V2 = 138.05 Ft^3 5ft diameter x 6ft long The connecting tube: 2ft diameter x 6ft long Thanks for...

    Pressure Equalization -- speed and time of duration

    Absolutely. YES I would. That is fantastic. Thanks much

    Pressure Equalization -- speed and time of duration

    if Volume V1 > V2 and Atmospheric Pressure P1< P2 The higher pressure chamber V2 will transition to V1 until equalization is achieved. The cross sectional area of the line connecting them together is area Aa. This cross sectional area determines the speed and therefore the time to...

    Pressure Equalization -- speed and time of duration

    I have two pressure vessels (volumes known) at different pressures (known) . There is a connecting tube between them of known diameter. I first want to calculate velocity during the equalization and should easily be able to determine the time to equalization. P1 V1 P2 V2 Cross section of...
