I am looking at a gas spring rod. The piston is moved by an axial load on the rod. I am looking at the case when the force is constant. The force is not changing to get a desired rate, I want to know how fast the piston moves for a fixed value axial force.
I am looking for the time it takes to travel a distance given a constant force on the piston. The pressure on the other side of the piston will increase as it is compressed, therefore dampening the motion more. So given a constant force, I want to know what equation would give you the time to...
I have an application where I need to determine the time needed to compress a gas in a piston cylinder arrangement a given distance (ie. the time for the piston to travel x inches). Would anyone happen to know the methodology and equations used to find this?
