AI Thread Summary
When two pressure vessels with identical pressure ratings are connected by a pipe, the first vessel will begin to fill the second once it reaches its pressure release state. As both vessels reach the same pressure release state, the second vessel's pressure relief valve will open if it exceeds the set pressure. The first vessel may require additional time to build up pressure to surpass the second vessel's pressure, depending on the flow dynamics and resistance in the connecting pipe. This scenario highlights the importance of understanding pressure dynamics in interconnected systems. Proper design and safety measures are crucial to prevent overpressure situations.

Say I have two pressure vessels with the same pressure rating connected by a pipe when the first vessel reaches its pressure release state it starts filling the next pressure vessel what will happen when the two vessels have reached the same pressure release state. A. Will the second pressure valve open. B. Will the first pressure vessel take some time to build up more pressure to overcome the second vessels pressure

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
