Air discharge from a tank using nozzle.
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:18 am
Hey all,
I really need help with this one:
I have a tank in volume V which contains air, the pressure in the tank is X Kpa. from the tank there's a pipe, not sure what diameter yet, lets call it D.
the pipe goes into a converging-diverging nozzle, and this nozzle is located inside a bigger pipe, so the air eventually flows in the bigger pipe. I assume the pressure there in the beginning is 1atm.
I need to calculate the discharge (flow rate) of the air from the tank, from the beginning untill the tank emptys from air.
I tried the calculators but I wasnt sure if I did it right and got a correct answer. I would be glad to know the equations I can use to solve my problem.
Honestly, I would spend much more time before I'd bother you with this, and would look much better for an answer in the calculators or the rest of the web, but unfortunately it is pretty urgent and I dont have the time to do it. I would really appreciate any help, especially if it comes fast ,since its urgent-as I said before.
thanks a lot, and have a pleasant weekend.
