Static pressure in a free jet

If I have a free jet that is subsonic, say simply the exhaust of a hair drier (operating with no heat), how does the jet pressure vary longitudinally along its axis, as it decelerates from moving to r …

Doubt about Reynolds number formula

I've never seen the second formula. It's incorrect, unless it's a specific application like water where density is numerically 1 g/cc and they just don't write it. The first formula $$\mathrm{Re} =\fr …

Calculate steam flow rate with pressure difference

Is this a very long pipe? Generally this type of pressure loss (aka head loss), assuming it is due to the pipe and not any features such as bends, valves, contractions, or other obstructions, is calc …

Calculating the leakage of water in a pressurized vessel based on initial and final pressures?

Late to the party, but I think you would need an equation of state for the water (density as a function of pressure). For a gas this is the ideal gas law, but for water there is an extremely wide ran …

Notation on Continuity Eqn Derivation

It just means "located at the plane $x+dx$", and it really should be applied to the velocity, not the $dydz$. Your cube has 6 faces. Flow in the $x$ direction can enter or exit the Control Volume by …

What does a dynamic-pressure loss coefficient of more than 1 mean (for eg air going through ...

The $C$ coefficient simply quantifies the pressure loss of a restriction as a scale multiple or fraction of the dynamic pressure $\frac 1 2 \rho v^2$. But the dynamic pressure is usually much less tha …

Orifice flow meter equation applicability, modeling leak flow

I am trying to determine the correct equation to model ideal gas flow rate through an orifice as a function of pressure. The equation below I found in Marks' Handbook for Mech Eng 8th Ed, p. 3-64 whi …

How to determine time taken for tyre to deflate using CFD analysis?

I don't think CFD is the right tool. You can use an orifice equation, say from ASME, to calculate flow rate from inner and outer pressure. This takes the form of: $$\dot{m}=\frac{EC_D}{\sqrt{1-\beta^4 …
