Calculation of compressed air pipeline size and time for transferring liquid materials from storage tanks
Thread Content
Two 10T tanks with known dimensional parameters are placed side by side in a room; one is filled with 8T of water, while the other is empty. Now, compressed air is used to transfer the water from the pipe at the bottom of the tank into another empty tank. The material pipeline dimensions and transfer time are known. The original two tanks were at atmospheric pressure; the empty tanks were connected to the atmosphere, with compressed air at 0.3 Mpa. Find the size of the compressed air tank opening.
Besides using the original formula for calculations, what tools or software are available to solve this problem?
