Re: Help Calculating time to recharge air tanks
I'm not entirely sure of how to do this myself, but I don't think your solution accounts for the fact that the amount of gas provided will decrease as the pressure in the chamber increases. The Ideal Gas Law also makes a lot of assumptions that generally don't hold true in the real world so there will be some deviance between the actual time to fill and the expected time to fill. Honestly, I would plot time and pressure in the tank and try to do a regression on it.
