I Equalizing Pressure in Pipe for Safe Container Design

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the design of a pressure vessel with a vent to equalize pressure and prevent wall failure during rapid pressurization. The initial conditions include a pipe at atmospheric pressure and a container vented to allow air flow, with concerns about maintaining a pressure difference below 200 psi to avoid collapse. Participants analyze the flow dynamics, suggesting calculations based on the vent size and pressure changes, while emphasizing the need for experimental validation of flow rates. The conversation also touches on the complexities of differential equations related to pressure changes and flow rates, with a call for further assistance in solving these equations. Overall, the design's safety hinges on effective pressure equalization and accurate flow rate calculations.

##p_2=p_1+0.01f_1=14.7+(0.01)(6.765)=14.768##

How can I account for gases other than air being used? Just change the R value?

Instead of 29, you use the molecular weight of your other gas.

It's saying a lighter gas allows for a higher rate of pressurization. I would have thought the opposite
