Air Hockey Calculation for Air Blowing System

[Zulashry Zulkifli]

Hello,
Right now I'm doing a Final Year Project 1 which is Air Hockey. The different between our air hockey and normal air hockey are our air hockey is octagonal shape. but now I'm stuck at calculating the air pressure for the table. can you help us? again this is just a school project not for business or monetary gain reason. Really appreciate help from PF' members.

Here is our questionaire for more information :

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us for assistance with your Final Year Project on Air Hockey. I am happy to help you with calculating the air pressure for your octagonal air hockey table.

To start, it is important to understand that the air pressure in the table is what creates the cushion of air that allows the puck to glide smoothly. This pressure is typically created by a fan or blower system located underneath the table.

In order to calculate the air pressure, we will first need to know the dimensions of your table, including the length, width, and height. We will also need to know the type and power of the fan or blower you are using.

To gather this information, I recommend filling out the questionnaire you have provided in the link. This will give us a better understanding of your project and allow us to provide more accurate assistance.

Once we have this information, we can use the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) to calculate the air pressure inside the table. This law relates the pressure (P) of a gas to its volume (V), number of moles (n), gas constant (R), and temperature (T).

We can also take into account any factors that may affect the air pressure, such as the number and size of air holes on the table's surface.

I hope this information helps you with your project. Please feel free to reach out to us with any further questions or concerns. Good luck with your project!
