Pressure drop w.r.to time through a orifice dia(D) in a container of volume (V)

In summary, the conversation discusses the initial pressure and volume of a container, and the time it takes for the pressure to decrease to 5 bar. It also raises questions about the type of substance in the container and its behavior. The summary ends with a proposed equation for calculating the pressure and mass remaining in the container over time.

Let initial preasure (P) = 10 bar,volume of container (V)=100000 cubic cm.
At what time period pressure will become 5 bar.

What kind of a substance is in the container? A gas or a liquid? If it is a gas, is it an ideal gas? Is it escaping against atmospheric pressure of 1 bar?

I make no guarantees for the correctness of this, but here's what I got.
Let vol of tank be V, pressure P(t), mass remaining in tank m(t), outlet area A, exit velocity f(t).
In time dt, a volume A*f.dt, mass (Afm/V).dt, exits.
Assuming adiabatic expansion:
P(t+dt)(V+Af.dt)γ = P(t)Vγ, where γ = 1.4
whence
P' = -PγAf/V
m' = -fAm/V
By conservation of energy
(P-Pa)Af.dt = Af3m.dt/2V
where Pa is ambient pressure.
I forgot about Pa at first, and obtained
(γ-1)At = ((P0/P)(1-γ)/2γ - 1)√(2Vm0/P0)
where P0 = P(0), m0 = m(0).
I might try to correct that tomorrow.
 

What is pressure drop w.r.to time through an orifice in a container?

Pressure drop w.r.to time through an orifice in a container is a measure of the decrease in pressure over a period of time as a fluid flows through a small opening, or orifice, in a container. This can occur due to various factors such as fluid viscosity, orifice diameter, and container volume.

How is pressure drop calculated?

Pressure drop can be calculated using the Bernoulli's equation, which takes into account the fluid velocity, density, and pressure at different points in the system. It can also be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which factors in the fluid velocity, density, viscosity, and the dimensions of the orifice and container.

What are the factors that affect pressure drop?

The main factors that affect pressure drop through an orifice in a container include the fluid's viscosity, the diameter of the orifice, and the volume of the container. Other factors that may impact pressure drop include the fluid's velocity, density, and any obstructions or irregularities in the system.

How does orifice diameter affect pressure drop?

Orifice diameter has a direct impact on pressure drop, as a smaller orifice will result in a higher velocity and thus a higher pressure drop. This is because the smaller opening restricts the flow of the fluid, causing it to increase in velocity in order to maintain the same volume flow rate.

Is pressure drop through an orifice constant over time?

No, pressure drop through an orifice can change over time due to various factors such as changes in fluid viscosity, temperature, or the formation of deposits or obstructions in the system. It is important to monitor pressure drop over time to ensure the system is functioning properly and to identify any potential issues.
