    Pump Venturi
AI Thread Summary
A faster valve can significantly improve the cycling speed of a venturi pump. The discussion focuses on the need for a solenoid valve or a quicker alternative to achieve rapid on/off cycling. The user specifically requires the ability to create short, sharp bursts of air, aiming for a cycling rate of about seven times per second. Recommendations for valve types or regulators that can meet this speed requirement are sought. Optimizing valve selection is crucial for achieving the desired performance in venturi pump applications.

I am looking to cycle on/off rapidly a venturi pump. I am using a solenoid valve but is there a recommendation for a quicker valve type or regulator? Speed is my most important requirement. Thank you.

What fluid are you pumping, gas or liquid?
What is your driver fluid, gas or liquid?
I presume you want to generate short, sharp bursts of driver fluid. How sharp?
 
Air. Yes, I need to create very short, sharp bursts of air into a venturi vacuum pump. I need to cycle about 7 times per second.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
