True, I am just having trouble comparing apples to oranges. For example, the 59.4CF of air coming in starts life at 14psi and is forced into the 6.6CF tank. The force pushing it along will be sufficient to do this job. The air in the tank is constantly increasing in pressure under this influx or decreasing as some is exhausted. I need a formula to figure out how this tank pressure will be simultaneously influenced by both of these processes.
