Volume of pressurized storage tank

AI Thread Summary
Maintaining a pressure of 500 psi in a storage tank does not provide enough information to determine its volume and dimensions, as pressure alone is insufficient for these calculations. Additional details about the tank's design and intended application are necessary for accurate assessments. Examples of tanks that can handle 500 psi include paintball gun tanks and scuba tanks, which vary in volume. For applications requiring more air capacity, higher pressure aluminum or composite tanks should be considered. Understanding the specific requirements and context is crucial for selecting the appropriate tank.

tell me if anyone knows that if we maintain a pressure of 500psi in the tank then what will be itz volume and dimensions

You are going to have to provide more information for anyone to help you.
 
That is to say, ahsuu, pressure is just force per unit area, so interior pressure alone cannot possibly determine the dimensions of a tank. There must be some other information in your problem.
 
I have paintball gun tanks that are 48 cubic inches that can maintain 500psi. I also have scuba tanks which can handle 500psi. What is the application?
 
500 psi is nothing for a compressed air tank. You should be looking at a lot higher pressure aluminum or composite tanks so you can carry more air.

I know, I have 3000psi in them, I was just saying that they can hold 500psi no problem.
 

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...
