Because I need to be able to calibrate a 4" meter that will see this kind of airflow.
I'm trying to find the easiest way, that's why I'm here. I'm completely open to suggestions.
This was my original idea, use a 14-71, only spin it with an electric motor and that's where I went off track because that will end up being more expensive than building an engine to run it. I can build a 1000+ crank hp engine, won't be cheap because of the parts needed to make it live any time...
Bare with me, I'm very new to this. I am trying to build a 'flow bench'. I need to be able to flow from 0-3000cfm of air through a 4" tube and be able to measure this airflow. Pressure will range from 0-40psi.
I have tried to come up with several different ways to design this. I thought...
I really appreciate your help on this, but can I get an example, with the info I've provided, so I can take that and be able to adjust it with varying values and see what I come up with? Sorry, like I said, I know VERY little about all of these formulas. I need a little more 'hand holding'.
You are kind of close. I really can't discuss much about this application, nothing personal. The MAF can't be placed in front of the compressor for this application.
There is a pump upstream from this pipe, there is also a pump downstream. They both run at different flow rates. The pump upstream moves more air than the one downstream. It is possible that the pump downstream can create a vacuum when both pumps are running at their lowest settings. Neither...
The air flow will constantly vary between the two amounts I listed. Can total pressure not be calculated from those? I just need to know a min pressure/force and a max pressure/force.
If you need more that what I've posted here, tell me specifically what data you need and I'll try to come...
I'm trying to determine the force or pressure applied to a surface based on mass air flow.
I have a 4" pipe, that could also be 3" or 3.5", but for this example we'll stick with 4" OD. .065 wall thickness
This pipe has air traveling through it at various speeds, pressures and...
