[SIMULATION] Simulation of a circuit to determine the speed of a air pump

[Psuknak]

Hello and congratulations to all for this forum.

I am an electronics engineer but I am currently interested in mechanics for the need of a new project.

I am looking for simulation software that is simple enough to use and ideally free (or free trial). I try to simulate a pneumatic circuit (air) consisting of compressor, solenoid valves and tank. I would like to inform the characteristics of my circuit (diameter, volume, flow ...) and simulate the evolution of the pressure and flow in the circuit in order to determine at the most just the speed of the compressor at the entrance of the circuit

Would you know a tool like this?

Thanks in advance !!

I think you need to be clearer what exactly you're trying to find.

"speed of the compressor" is virtually meaningless. speed of air flow? RPM of the compressor?

what type of compressor?
what pressures and flows?
what range of "speeds" are we talking about
a diagram of the circuit would help

air is a compressible gas which makes simple calculations not as easy as liquids, but probably possible on an Excel based sheet.

If you are talking low pressure HVAC type flows then the HVAC forum might have an answer.

High pressure systems the compressor forum might have an answer

The pumps forum tends to be for liquid pumps.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
