Hi.
Consider a plenum with a small restricting outlet.
Highly heated gas constantly flows through the plenum, and a build-up, or congestion of high-pressure gas exists in the plenum due to the restricting outlet pipe.
The intake flow of gas does not change.
1. A hotter plenum should increase the gas pressure since there is a small amount of
confinement due to the restricted outlet.
2. But, the hotter gas expands more, decreasing pressure/density.
Which of these is true?
