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 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...

Thread 'Recovering Hamilton's Equations from Poisson brackets'

The issue : Let me start by copying and pasting the relevant passage from the text, thanks to modern day methods of computing. The trouble is, in equation (4.79), it completely ignores the partial derivative of ##q_i## with respect to time, i.e. it puts ##\partial q_i/\partial t=0##. But ##q_i## is a dynamical variable of ##t##, or ##q_i(t)##. In the derivation of Hamilton's equations from the Hamiltonian, viz. ##H = p_i \dot q_i-L##, nowhere did we assume that ##\partial q_i/\partial...
