Calculate Distance to Blow Matter Through Tubing

AI Thread Summary
To determine how far fish food pellets can be blown through tubing, one must calculate the pressure and the tubing's cross-sectional area to establish the driving force. The exit speed of the pellets can be derived from the tube's length. The trajectory of the pellets will follow a parabolic path, with the maximum distance achievable at a 45-degree angle. Understanding these factors is essential for accurate calculations. Proper equations can help predict the distance effectively.

Does anyone know any equations that can be used to figure out how far matter can be blown through a section piece of tubing? I need to figure out how far I can blow fish food pellets through a piece of tubing and I know that the fact that I am blowing pellets instead of large solid objects or liquid will complicate things. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Calculate the pressure, calculate the section, and you have the driving force F. You can then calculate the exist speed from the length of the tube. The trajectory of your object will be a parabola and there are www.cbu.edu/~jmonzyk/Phys150/ProjMot.ppt[/URL] (45°) and what this maximum distance will be.

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...

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...
