Calculating Reaction Force in High Volume Air Blow through Piping Circuits

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the reaction force generated by high-volume air blow through piping circuits, one must understand that the reaction force is derived from the rate of change of momentum of the escaping gas. The formula involves the pipe's cross-sectional area, the average pressure of the blow, and the velocity of the air exiting the pipe. A common approach is to use the equation: Reaction Force = (Pipe Area x Average Blow Pressure) / Velocity of Air. It is essential to clarify the units used in the calculations to ensure accuracy. Understanding these parameters will lead to a precise calculation of the reaction force in air blow applications.

When Executing an air blow through a circuit of piping at high volumes and resonable pressures. How would you calculate the reaction force that the piping circuit will generate by the open end exit blow of air? Need a detailed method of how to calculate and what the numbers used represent and mean.

Reaction force = rate of change of the momentum of the escaping gas.
 
I know that but how do I calculate. For example. Pipe area x average blow pressure x 100? I mean how?
 

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 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
