Valve that allows the flow of liquid but prevent air escaping

Click For Summary
A valve is needed that allows liquid flow while preventing air from escaping a sealed container. One-way valves can serve this purpose, allowing liquid to flow in one direction without permitting air back into the tank. Active elements, such as sensors, can automate valve operation based on water presence. Automatic drain valves, which utilize a float to control a needle valve, can effectively vent water while maintaining air pressure. Such solutions are available for applications involving gravity-fed systems.

Hello,
I do not really know if this is the right place to post this message ... if it's not then I'm sorry
I am looking for a valve that allows the flow of liquid but prevent air escaping out form let's say a sealed container ...
Is there such a thing?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Liquid and air in the same direction, at the same pressure?
Can you use some active elements?
 
The water is in a tank and I want them to flow through a pipe at the bottom of the tank (by the force of gravity)
Now I do not want that air will enters the tank back form the pipe while the pipe is open (in the pipe can be pressurised air)
What do you mean by active elements ?
 
So you just need a 1-way valve? Those exist.

Active elements would be something like a sensor to detect water and open the valve based on that sensor.
 
Automatic drain valves are available that mount below a compressed air reservoir. They have a float supporting a needle valve.
When water builds up in the lower float chamber, the needle valve at the bottom lifts and the water is vented by air pressure.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
