    Speed of Hydrogen combustion out of a tube?

    Hello, I was curious about how to calculate how fast the escape velocity of hydrogen out of a tube/cylinder would be. Once end of the cylinder is closed, the other is open, obviously. Assume the cylinder is full of hydrogen at 1 atm. My thought is that you could use PV=NRT to calculate the...

    Downward Turbulent Flow in a Vertical Tube: Pressure Change

    "For a particular flow rate, the pressure drop due to the downward flow of the fluid is balanced by the pressure gain due to gravity—that is, at this flow rate, the static pressure in the pipe is independent of the distance along the pipe." Book says this. Can you explain how the pressure...
