    Air Holes Pipe
AI Thread Summary
To determine the air pressure exiting the holes in a 9' long pipe with a diameter of 1" ID and 1.25" OD, and with hundreds of 1/16" holes, the configuration of the holes is crucial. If the holes are randomly distributed, deriving a precise formula becomes complex, and using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program is recommended. Assuming a straight pipe, the airflow at the end may be minimal, particularly if the pipe is not tapered. The pressure outside the holes is generally considered atmospheric if discharging into the atmosphere. Accurate calculations require detailed information about the hole arrangement and pipe design.

I need a formula! Please help!

Imagine a 9' long 1"IDx1.25"OD pipe. Along the length of this pipe there are a couple hundred ∅1/16 holes. If I'm feeding 60PSI into the pipe, what is my air pressure coming out of the little holes? And how do I find out the CFM the pipe is consuming? Please help!

You need to provide more information on how these holes are setup. Are they setup in a straight line. Do you have a set of holes circling the pipe, or is it random. If its random it not going to be possible to derive an equation. You will need to use an FEA program.

Also, with hundreds of holes, and I'm assuming the pipe is straight. There probably will be very little to no air flow at the end of the pipe. If you taper the pipe different story.
 
Usually, and it should be no different in this situation, the pressure outside the little holes would be taken as atmospheric pressure, that is if the pipe is discharging into the atmosphere.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
