How to apply Eulers Eq and continuity eq to compressed air

AI Thread Summary
Euler's Equation and the continuity equation can be applied to compressed air flow, provided an appropriate equation of state, like the ideal gas law, is used. However, it is important to note that these equations assume dissipation-free flow, which may not hold true in practical scenarios involving compressed air. The system is likely neither adiabatic nor entirely inviscid, leading to potential errors in the application of these equations. For an engine powered by compressed air, the adiabatic assumption can be utilized, but careful consideration of the system's characteristics is necessary. Accurate modeling will require accounting for the inherent limitations of these equations in real-world applications.

Can we apply Euler's Equation and continuity equation to compressed air flow from tank or orifice.

Sure, as long as you have an appropriate equation of state, such as the ideal gas law. Also, Euler's equations assume that the flow is dissipation free, and the system you describe is almost certainly neither adiabatic nor entirely inviscid, so there will be some error inherent in those assumptions.

Thank you sir for your fast reply,

As i have engine and as power source is compressed air and process assumed is adiabatic then how i can apply here in my system.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
