When measuring pressure drop across a compressed air system shown in the included figure, I get different results depending on the system downstream of the actual component I am measuring pressure drop across. Btw this is a real experiment that has been ran. The numbers below are different but a...
Wouldn't the air flow rate depend vary? If the gauge at the tool is set @75psi for example, wouldn't the flow rate depend on the system? That's what I'm struggling with.
When dealing with a compressed air system I would like to know how to make some calculations to predict pressure and flow rate throughout a system.
e.g.
If I have a compressor that can supply 50 cfm @ 100 psi at the source, and the air flows through a system of pipes, filters, turns, etc. which...
