I also attempted to use the fluid momentum equation which gave me approximately .06 psig but I was very unsure about the validity of this principle in this particular situation. I was also able to use water that had a flow rate of 7 gpm and determine the pressure experimentally and it was about...
If I understand what you are suggesting, I believe this will not work. In a piston cylinder, the piston head provides an essentially air tight seal between the combustion chamber and the bottom portion of the bore. The heat addition (combustion) occurs at constant pressure because the cylinder...
I am struggling with what seemed to be a simple problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have to determine the amount of pressure created when air is displaced buy gasoline flowing into a tank.
The gas enters the tank at 10gpm. The entrance has a diameter of 1.5" and the vent has a...
