SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the pressure required to move 1 and 2 CFM of 190°C air through a solenoid valve with a 2.5 mm orifice. The user is utilizing 1/4" diameter tubing and is uncertain if their blowers can generate sufficient pressure. They mention the need for "choke flow" calculations rather than incompressible flow and seek online calculators that accommodate higher temperatures than 99°C.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, specifically "choke flow."
- Familiarity with orifice flow calculations and related equations.
- Knowledge of air flow rates and their relation to temperature and pressure.
- Experience with using online calculators for engineering applications.
NEXT STEPS
- Research "choke flow" calculations for compressible fluids.
- Explore advanced online calculators for air flow at elevated temperatures.
- Study the impact of orifice size on flow rates and pressure requirements.
- Investigate blower specifications and their pressure output capabilities.
USEFUL FOR
Engineers, HVAC professionals, and anyone involved in fluid dynamics or pneumatic systems, particularly those working with high-temperature air flow applications.
