Caculate air flow using tank pressure

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the airflow through the DN50 valve, it's essential to consider the pressure differential between the air vessel and the atmosphere, as well as the characteristics of the valve itself. The booster operates at 2000 L/min under standard conditions, but adjustments must be made for the 6 bar inlet pressure and the 7 bar outlet pressure. The rapid pressure drop when the DN50 valve is opened indicates that the booster cannot supply sufficient flow to maintain pressure. Without a pressure gauge and additional details on the valve's specifications, precise calculations may be challenging. Understanding these parameters is crucial for determining the necessary flow rate and whether an additional booster is required.

Dear all !
I am an engineer from Vietnam! I just started to work 4 months ago. Now I got assignments with compressed air system!
The compressor is not mentioned here!
We have an air vessel of 500 Liters, and pressure is 7 bar. Before air vessel is an air booster with inlet pressure of 6 bar. The in let pipe to the booster is DN 25. The outlet pipe from air vessel is DN 50.
After starting the booster, the air vessel will be full within 15s ( Booster is 2000L/min). then I open the valve DN50 from tank, the pressure drop so fast and the booster working continuously. I know that the booster is not enough flow for using. Now I want to install one more booster, but I want to know how much flow through the DN50?
I using PV=nRT but can not help. Pls help me to solve out this problem. Thanks in advance!

Booster is 2000 L/min at std. conditions? That needs to be adjusted to 6 bar.

You open DN50 to where? Atmosphere? What's the back pressure?
 
According to the diagram. The booster had the range of inlet from 2 bar to 5 bar, the outlet will be douple. But now they put 6 bar to the inlet of booster, and outlet to air vessel is 7 bar. The maximun flow is 2000L/min.
The valve DN 50 is opened to atmosphere because it still not connect to anything, also no pressure gauge.
So can we caculate the flow of dn50 valve?
Thanks so much Rollingstein!

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
