Thank you all for your kind replies.
The pump is an air compressor with max pressure of 120 psi. I've threaded in a 100mm length of 3/4" stainless steel (SS 316) which has a wall thickness of around 2mm. So the pipe is just simply sticking out the air compressor outlet. The backpressure is...
Thank you, so if I were to compress the volume using a piston instead, the temperature would increase? i.e:
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
I'm having trouble thinking about how to calculate on paper what the temperature increase would be.
Inputting starting pressure (atmosphere) and temperature (ambient...
I was looking at Combined Gas Law PV/T = C
Maybe I should be looking at ideal gas law? Is it because I am adding more air to the system, rather than compressing the original volume of air? Newbie at this, sorry :) Any learnings would be appreciated
I've set up a simple experiment to look at the ideal gas laws. My experiment is relatively simple in that I have a metal tube which is capped on one side. I am then pressurising the tube with air to 100 psi and locking it off.
My thought is that as the pressure increased, with volume held...
The Problem
I've been given the beam shown below to carry out the Hardy Cross method (Moment Distribution) too. I have no problems with the method but I'm struggling with part b, which states "Replace column by an equivalent force and couple at point C"...
