Velocity & Impact Energy Calculation for pipework failure calc.

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the initial velocity, subsequent velocity, and impact energy of a pipe end stop that fails under high pressure conditions. The pipe end stop, with a mass of 100g and a diameter of 12.7mm, fails at an instantaneous pressure of 1000 Bar. Key calculations involve using principles of physics to determine the initial velocity at the point of failure, the velocity 1 meter from the failure point, and the kinetic energy upon impact with a polycarbonate protective screen.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Familiarity with basic physics equations for velocity and energy
  • Knowledge of pressure units and conversions, specifically Bar to Pascal
  • Ability to apply conservation of energy principles in dynamic systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate initial velocity using the equation derived from pressure and mass
  • Determine the velocity at 1 meter using kinematic equations
  • Compute the kinetic energy at impact using the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
  • Research the effects of material properties of polycarbonate on impact resistance
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, physics students, safety engineers, and anyone involved in the design and analysis of pressure systems and impact scenarios.

Homework Statement


A pipe end stop fails when subjected to high pressure and flys of the pipe before impacting with a polycarbonate protective screen.
The end stop has a mass of 100g and is 12.7mm dia. as is the internal diameter of the pipe. The instantaneous pressure that the end stop fails at is 1000 Bar.

My problem is:
a) What is the intitial velocity of the pipe stop at point of failure?
b) What is the velocity of the pipe stop 1m from the point of failure?
c) What is the energy of the pipe stop, at the point of impact with the polycarbonate screen?
