Mixing of two air flow at different pressure

AI Thread Summary
To determine the final pressure (P3) and temperature (T3) of two air flows mixed adiabatically, Bernoulli's equation should be applied twice for different sections of the flow. The system requires known pressure and velocities to solve the equations, as there are more unknowns than equations. A control volume around the mixing point helps analyze the energy exchange, where the enthalpy out equals the enthalpy in. The temperature of the mixed flows will equalize, allowing for calculations of energy exchange to find the final enthalpy for each component. This approach effectively addresses the mixing of air flows with differing pressures, temperatures, and mass flow rates.

Hi Friends! Here is my query :

I have two source of air supply with different pressures, temperatures and with different mass flow rates.
Input 1: P1,T1,m1.
Input 2:P2,T2,m2.
Output: P3,T3,m3.
P,T and m refers to pressure, temperature and mass flow rate respectively. If the mixing is being done in adiabatic way how to obtain final pressure and final temp of air(P3,T3).

I don't know if you still need an answer to this but maybe someone else would like to see an answer too.

You just need to use Bernoullie's equation twice. Once for two of the three sections and another time for two sections from which one must be different than those sections from the first equation. And of course you'll need to have some given pressure and velocities since, obviously, you can't solve a system of two equations with nine unknowns.
 
Put a control volume around the mixing T. The enthalpy out is equal to the enthalpy in.

You can treat the two flows separately. There is some amount of energy lost by the flow coming in at a higher temperature and gained by the flow coming in at a lower temperature. The temperature of the two are of course, the same after they've mixed. So just calculate how much energy is exchanged so that the temperatures are the same and you have the enthalpy out for each component.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
