    Pipe Velocity
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the velocity of air flowing through a 6mm diameter pipe at a pressure of 3 bar. The formula provided for determining outlet velocity is v_out = [2(p_in - p_out)/air_density + (v_in)^2]^0.5. There is uncertainty regarding the inlet velocity, which is crucial for accurate calculations, and the impact of pipe radius on flow speed is noted, with faster movement at the center compared to the circumference. The conversation touches on gas dynamics, suggesting that the outlet velocity may approach Mach 1 under certain conditions. Accurate calculations depend on knowing both inlet velocity and air density.

Can someone help me here i need to find the velocity through straight pipe with length 0.11meter and diameter 6mm and air flows through the pipe at a pressure of 3bar. Now i want to find the velocity of air through the outlet in m/s?

if I understand your question right

v_out = [2(p_in - p_out)/airdensitiy + (v_in)^2]^0.5

iam using a pressure of 3bar in compressor i don't know what is the velocity at inlet.
 
Velocity at what radius? The air at the center of the pipe will be moving faster than the air at the circumference.
 
sounds like a gasdynamics. 3 bar in a compresser? Mach 1 at outlet.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
