Velocity of Compressed air

Compressor
Internal Diameter, D = 80mm

Ambient air
800m³/hr@1bar (a)
Compressed Air
Q = 100m³/hr@7bar (g)

Velocity of compressed air , v Where,

=Q/A flow rate pipe
= Q ÷ ( ¼ π D2 ) ™ Q = Volume flow rate
= 100 ÷ ( ¼ x 3.142 x 0.0802 ) ™ A = Cross section area of pipe
= 19,882m/hr or 5.5m/s

9 To avoid high pressure drop, the maximum velocity of compressed air should
maintain below 15m/s.
9 Less than 6m/s to avoid carry over of moisture past the drain legs
