Pressurized Habitat

Hi.

I am currently working on a project while on an internship. The concept is that a fan provides air to a habitat constructed from PVC fabric and then exhausts out. The Habitat itself inflates slightly. I feel this would be similar to pressurized rooms but I am not too sure. I need a series of equations that would give a pressure inside the habitat from the velocity on the intake and outlet of the habitat and the volume of the habitat. I have tried bernoulli equations but seem to be hitting a brick wall. Any help is much appreciated.

You are correct, what you are talking about is just like pressurized rooms. However it is not based on any velocity, rather volumetric flow rates. This has been pretty well discussed in the following threads.
