What should the pressure of the pipeline closest to the equipment be?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, an air pipe extends to the bottom of the equipment; assuming the liquid level in the equipment is around 4 meters, the pressure of the gas phase in the upper part of the equipment is 1 kilogram. Then the outlet of this pipe experiences a resistance of 1.4 kilograms; so what should be the pressure in the pipe section closest to the equipment on the outside of it? Air flows into the equipment; the air compressor delivers a pressure of 6 kilograms, and there are three valves in between. Take this half-meter pipe as an example; theoretically, should it be 1.4 kilograms? But air is in motion, so shouldn’t it be higher than 1.4? Does it have nothing to do with the pressure of the pipeline air compressor? The problem isn’t complicated; I just can’t think of it right away.

Thank you. It’s a rough estimate; no need for complete accuracy. So what you’re saying is that it has nothing to do with the pressure of the air compressor, right? It shouldn’t matter much what the flow rate of the air in the furnace is, right?
