Pressure on Piston due to Compressible flow

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the mathematical modeling of a compressed air engine, specifically regarding the pressure on a piston due to compressible flow. The user presents an equation relating pressures and volumes but questions its applicability since it lacks a density term. There is a suggestion that the user should leverage their mechanical engineering knowledge to resolve their confusion using principles from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of incorporating density in modeling compressible flow accurately. Overall, clarity on the correct equations and principles is essential for effective modeling in this context.

is it correct modeling mathematical model for Compressed air engine,

As here air Flowing through Pipe in Kg/s and its not a continuous flow and flow through vent into the cylinder and pushes Piston and and Piston moves down.
As I created model like this

(P1*V1)^Y = (P2*V2)^Y

So,
P2 = [(P1*V1)^Y] / [ (V1+dV)^Y ]
here i m in Confusion can i use this equation for my case because this does not includes density term
or Please guide more what equation i can use here.

I don't understand . You claim to have or be studying for a masters degree in 'Mechanical' . You should be able to answer your own questions easily using what you have learned in basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics courses ?

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
