SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on modeling the time required for pressurized air to fill a lower-pressure chamber from a tank. Key variables include input pressure, final pressure, and the diameter of the flow pipe. The user seeks to develop a mathematical model to account for changing air density and flow rate as the inlet tank pressure decreases. Electrical analogies are employed to simplify the understanding of fluid dynamics in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Knowledge of pressure and flow rate relationships
  • Familiarity with mathematical modeling techniques
  • Basic concepts of electrical analogies in fluid systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mathematical modeling for compressible fluid flow
  • Explore the use of Bernoulli's equation in pressure systems
  • Learn about the ideal gas law and its application in pressure calculations
  • Investigate simulation tools for fluid dynamics, such as ANSYS Fluent
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, project managers, and researchers involved in fluid dynamics, pressure systems, and mathematical modeling of gas flow will benefit from this discussion.

Hi.. I am working on a project where I need pressurized air from one tank to fill another chamber at lower pressure. I have values for input pressure, required final pressure and diameter of the short flow pipe. I understand that the density and flow rate of air will keep on changing as the pressure in the inlet tank reduces due to flow. I was wondering how can I convert this into a mathematical model to get the desired time and optimize from thereon. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

I always use electrical analogies. Pressure ↔ Voltage, flow ↔ current, pipe ↔ resistor and tank ↔ capacitor.
