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?
 
I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
