A blowdown tunnel holds \( 20 \) m\( ^3 \) of air at \( 20 \) bar and consumes \( 8 \) m\( ^3 \) of stored air per second at test conditions. Its run time is about

  • A.12 seconds
  • B.50 seconds
  • C.2.5 seconds
  • D.160 seconds

Answer: B

The stored volume at test conditions is \( 20 \times 20 = 400 \) m\( ^3 \), so at \( 8 \) m\( ^3 \) per second the run lasts about 50 s, less the margin needed to hold conditions steady. Short run times are the defining constraint of the blowdown layout.
