Psi Definition and 169 Threads

I need to find the volume of air (ft^3) for this sample. The air is discharged at 40 psi for 1 minute and the diameter of the pipe is 0.5 inches (Area = 0.001363538 ft^2). I think I need to solve for the velocity of the air (vel = sqrt(2P/rho), where P is the pressure and rho is the density)...

The customer's print calls out 250 ft-lbs mininum on a weld. There was a gage built some time ago... The weld is used to mend a cylindrical feature after forming/stamping the part. There is a bar inserted into the part (part is constrained with pins into a fixture). And the other end of the...

I have a 3 dimensional orbital-specfic electron density function ( |\psi(r)|2 ) for all relevant r values. How would I go about finding the corresponding \psi(r)? I know it would be something related to a Fourier transform, I'm just unsure about how to go about performing it in mathematica or...

I would like to make a pressure vessel with a pressure of about 9 bars/130.5 psi, that contains about 250 grams of water at about 175 degrees Celsius. My question is how big should the pressure vessel be.

I am trying to figure out the flow rate (gallons per minute) and PSI of the water just as it exits the top of the pipe. Is it possible to figure out these out given the information in the diagram?

the range of (psi) squared is ?? (psi) of the schrodinger's wave equation is displacement? ( or, what are it's SI units??) (psi) squared gives the "probability" of finding a particle in space..does this mean that, 0<= ((psi) sqaured) <=1 ??

As we learned in fluid mechanics, we can devise stream function psi when the flow is 2-D, incompressible. However, I cannot clearly explain why psi can be defined only for 2-D, mathematically or logically. Is there any way to explain this, more than just say that 'just as it is'?

I wonder and feel like knowing how the product of psi with its complex conjugate represents the Probability Density for the object to be there? how two (apparent) different concepts are linked that way?

I have a blank 12ga round producing 2000psi In a .75" ID. cylinder. The 2000 psi shell is producing twice the power I need to push my 3lb rod out of the cylinder. The cylinder is 10" long and the rod is 8" long. There is 1" of room between the expanded shell and the solid shaft. I was...

This isn't anything course related but i was just curious, why do we use several units for pressure? Primarily PSI and Pascals? Theyre both units used to measure pressure, but why are 2 units used? What are they similarities and differences? and where are they used?(situations scenarios) and...

I have been "googling" to find the relationship between the above, and the answer has mostly been a resounding "NO". Maybe my question is not "CFM" vs "PSI", but that is the only way I know how to descibe my question. I will explain the scenario: I have air flowing at a constant speed...

Hi, Is it possible to calculate gasflow(cfm) given pressure(psi) and sound(dbuv). I am writing some software to report and track air leaks and the hardware the user will be using is the ultraprobe 9000. Thanks and I appreciate any information.

If I have an unlimited air supply with 800 PSI and fed through a 1' pipe how do I calculate the CFM

I wasn't sure exactly where I should have posted this but here I go... I was reading that Voltage is a measure of potential energy. With that same mind frame would it be correct to say that PSI is also a measure of potential energy? Specifically referring to the psi in an pneumatic line for...

How do I convert gph to psi?... Here is the deal, we are testing a 24" pipe for leaks doing a pressure test. the pressure at the pipe in question is 185 psi, and it lost 4 psi. I have a chart showing the allowable loss in GPH, but I don't know how to convert to PSI. Since this was a test...

Is there anyway that a Ketone on a benzene ring could be reduced to a hydrocarbon with the use of H2, Pd/C, 45 psi ? I know that carbonyls on aromatic rings are able to be reduced to alcohols via this method but would be interested in if it is possible (more so then practical) to fully reduce to...

psi --> pounds lifted? I have a very, very small air compressor that puts out 0.8 bar or 11.6 PSI. I would like to know how to compute if I were to put a plastic skin over the top of the output (like a balloon), how much weight could be lifted by the air compressor. I realize that part of...

I hope I am asking this in the right forum. Lets say you have a simple hand pump, similar to a bicycle pump, and you exert X amount of force on the handle. How do you calculate the resulting air pressure it creates out of the small valve at the end? Obviously friction between the O-ring...

My question is pretty easy (i think). I have a wavefcn PSI defined at t=0. The PSI is a mix of several eigenstates. Let's say PHI(x,0)=C1phi1 + C2 phi3. Now C1 and C2 are given to me, so I am wondering is this wavefcn. already normalized, or do i have to normalize it despite definite C1 and C2...

Hey. As the title dipicts, is there any relationship between CFM and PSI, linear or non-linear? Any mathamatical relationship either? CFM (cubic feet per minute) is a volume over time, and PSI (lbs per square inch) is a weight essentially over an area. So I take it, there's no real way to...

i am confused why you need to write psi-bar multiplied by psi (where psi-bar is the hermitian conjugate of psi multiplied by y_0 (dirac matrix or gamma matrix)) instead of the h.c. psi multiplied by psi in order for it to transform as a lorentz scalar. Note: h.c. means hermitian conjugate
