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 ?

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
