Thank you very much for the thorough explanation. I'll need some time to digest it and dust off my knowledge in physics from university which I haven't applied for quite some time but hopefully I'll understand it in detail. And as pointed out by you, I think it is a 'thermal phenomenon' rather...

And timing, valve may be open for 0.5 s or so. The longer the valve is open, the less the effect. The pressure drops and becomes stable after approx 10 s. Does Joule - Thomson have anything to do with it? The gas can be said to be throttled when the valve is opened and after a while (10 seconds...

Hi! Upstream the valve, we have about 200 bar (very large volume compared to the volume downstream valve) Downstream valve roughly 2 meters of approx 10 mm diamater piping. This piping is closed (confined volume) with a pressure indicator.

Hi all, A question on the physics behind rapid pressurization (relatively high pressures e.g. 300 bar) and perhaps transients in systems. For simplicity, imagine that we only have a piece of pipe with an initially closed valve on one side and a pressure indicator on the other side. The current...
