Velocity of Air in Wessel.

09/14/2010 3:39 AM

i want to calculate air velocity inside the vessel in a meter per second (the air enters from the bottom & passed through top end , wessel is cylinder shaped) , so how can i calculate the perfect velocity ?

Velocity = volumetric flowrate / cross-sectional area.

What does "perfect" mean?

This last batch of questions looks like homework to me.

hi dear ,

calculate the volume of vessel v=2πRL

be sure perfect

L =the length of vessel

π =3.14 R=internal raduis

calculate the time by stop watch

Q = Volume \ Time

velocity = Q \ cross section area

choose your unite in calculation per meter

to have velocity m\s

What you compute is NOT the vessel volume but ONLY the mantel area!

The cross area is A= π*R^2 and *L = V

Are sure about the right use of the word "perfect"?

ooooo dear

i am very sorry , i was very tired .

you are alright

The cross area is A= π*R^2 and *L = V

perfect = there is no loss due to collision between vessel and fluid

that i understand .

In fact your answer is not totally correct since the velocity is NOT same across the whole section. The distribution depends on:

- ratio between entry area and cross section

- ration between length and diameter (if cylinder)

- ratio between out let and cross area.

- inlet air velocity

And the answer cannot be done before the OP explains what is the meaning of "perfect" in his question.

You did not answer the question about "perfect".
