Pressure equalization
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2012 7:55 pm
Hi
I think the fluid flow calculator is a good place to start but need some guidance on solving my question.
I have a local reservoir of pressurized air at 2000psi supplied by several compressors which effectively fixes the local reservoirs pressure. 800m away along a 1" pipe I have a 5000cui remote reservoir, pressure is released from the remote reservoir and the system is sealed such that the remote reservoir now has an initial state of 1000psi. I'm looking at how long till the remote reservoir is back at 2000psi.
Any help or pointers to a guide/spreadsheet/Matlab code?
Thanks
