Pressure drop through volumes of compressible fluid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on estimating pressure in a cavity (P2) and calculating pressure drop across an annulus. Initial assumptions indicate a pressure drop of ΔP (P1-P2) at 2 kPa, with fluid velocities calculated as v1 = 57 m/s and v2 = 32 m/s. Friction losses in a 600mm pipe with an 8mm diameter are calculated to yield ΔP (P2-P3) at 2.3 kPa. The user seeks clarification on how to calculate losses at the pipe's entry and exit, as well as the volumes involved in these calculations. Understanding these factors is crucial for accurate pressure drop estimation in compressible fluid systems.

Pressure drop through volumes of compressible fluid
Relevant Equations
deltaP = 1/2 (density)velocity^2)
Thanks for your response.
I'm trying to estimate the pressure in the cavity, i.e. P2. I know the areas, A1 which in practicality is an annulus and A2 which is a 600m pipe with i/d 8mm.
I would like to initially understand how to calculate the pressure drop across the annulus.

At the moment I'm assuming the pressure drop which is not useful...
ΔP (P1-P2) = 2 kPa
v1 = SQRT(2000*2/1.2)= 57 m/s

Q1 (flowrate) = v1 * 26 = 1482 m2.mm/s

v2 = Q1/A2 = 1482/46 = 32 m/s

Friction losses at exit pipe
Fluid exits container at pipe length of 600mm length (L) and 8mm inner diameter (d)
L/d = 75
f = 0.05

ΔP (P2-P3) = 0.5*1.2*322*75*0.05= 2.3 kPa
NOt quiet sure how to calculate losses at entry and exit of pipe.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...

Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
