AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling an air vessel with constant volume during the charging and discharging of compressed air. The user seeks confirmation on the suitability of specific equations related to air mass, mass flow rates, and temperature. Participants request derivations and clarification on whether charging and discharging occur simultaneously. The user references an equation from a published Elsevier paper and expresses gratitude for feedback. Confirmation of the temperature equation using the open system version of the first law of thermodynamics is provided, supporting the model's validity.

Hello All,

I am trying to model an air vessel with a constant volume during charging and discharging with compressed air. Are the equations in the attached photo are suitable?
where m is the air mass, Gc and Gt are the mass flow rate in and out of the air vessel with a volume V. Tac is the temperature of the Air in air storage device.

Let's see your derivation. Also, are the charging and discharging occurring simultaneously?

I found this equation in a published paper in Elsevier and I just wanted to make sure of it and thank you for your reply.

Using the open system version of the 1st law of thermodynamics, I confirmed the temperature equation, even for combined charging and discharging.

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
