RELATIONS BETWEEN PNEUMATIC PARAMETERS OF IDEAL-GAS IN A COLUMN WITH UNIFORM PERMEABILITY

This report was conceived as a source for the relations between five pneumatic parameters of carrier gas - inlet and outlet pressure, inlet and outlet velocity, and average velocity. Any pair of these parameters can be independent while the remaining three can be expressed as functions of the independent pair. As the total number of the independent pairs is ten, thirty different functions describing relations between arbitrary independent pairs and dependent parameters can be identified. All thirty were derived below together with the complete set of bounds for variations of independent parameters. To derive some relations, a third order rational equation had to be solved. Some properties of that solution are discussed. A simple case of vacuum operations with zero outlet pressure has also been considered.
