It is not a homework problem. I am trying to solve a problem for an industrial plant that is having some issues. As far as time reaching equilibrium, the air pressure inside the tank and pipe will reach atmospheric pressure at some time once the valve has been opened and the compressed air is...
I am trying to work a problem to find flowrate, and a time to reach equilibrium. It sets up like this: I have a tank with a volume of 400 cubic feet full of compressed air at 50psi. The tank has an 8" schedule 40 carbon steel pipe coming off of it with a valve at the tank. The pipe rises 100'...
