It would like a reciprocating engine

Hi, I posted a question a while ago which I have managed to do some more calculations for. I need a bit of help to see if they are correct. I am trying to obtain power and torque values at different rotational speeds of a single cylinder compressed air engine. The inlet pressure into the engine...

That makes sense. I also did the calculation shown below to find the force. Was thinking I could get the required supply pressure from this and then choose a tank with appropriate pressure. Is this also incorrect? f = 1500/60 = 25 Frequency in revolutions per second w =...

I was going to have a tank with pressure 8 bar. But again am not sure if this is enough push the piston down. The tank pressure can be changed at this stage.

Hi,I am designing a compressed air engine for a project. A little stuck with calculations. I need to work out how long the engine will run at its top speed using a air pressure which is supplied from a compressed air tank.Compressed air pushed down a piston which is connected to a camshaft. As...
