Jan 18, 2021 #3 LittleInch Petroleum Joined Mar 27, 2013 Messages 22,997 Location GB There are two relevant FAQs https://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1201 https://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1864 I think this is a fixed volume of air so what you have here is a transient issue as mass flow rate will start to fall from the start over time. A 600 metre long 24" thing is not called a "cylinder", it's called a pipeline section... But note that the flow will be sonic and a 4" opening will be very noisy and have very high velocity. Can you give us a bit more here please? Remember - More details = better answers Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it. Upvote 0 Downvote
