How Does Pressurizing a Sealed Syringe Affect Internal and External Pressures?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion addresses the effects of pressurizing a sealed syringe on internal and external pressures. When the syringe is sealed at the needle end and pressure is applied, the internal pressure increases while the external pressure remains at atmospheric levels. Additionally, when the syringe is connected to a piping system with a non-compressible fluid, an increase in fluid pressure does not equate to a pressure drop in the fluid; instead, the internal pressure of the syringe rises independently of the external fluid dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ideal gas laws
  • Knowledge of pressure concepts in fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with non-compressible fluid behavior
  • Basic principles of syringe mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the ideal gas law and its applications in closed systems
  • Study fluid dynamics, focusing on pressure transmission in non-compressible fluids
  • Explore the mechanics of syringes and their applications in various scientific fields
  • Investigate the effects of pressure changes on gas behavior in sealed environments
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, engineering, and fluid mechanics, particularly those interested in pressure dynamics and syringe applications.

Problem is simplied.

Assume ideal gas @ atm pressure & temperature.
Completely seal the needle end of a syringe.
Assume bottom end of syringe is completely sealed (can move in axial direction).

Q1.
If I press on the syringe (pressurize inside), is if correct to say that the pressure increase on the inside of the syringe is equal to the pressure decrease on the outside (open to atm)?

Q2.
If non-sealed side of syringe is connected to a piping system in which a non-compressible fluid is flowing, a pressure increase in the fluid will cause a pressure increase inside the syringe. In this case is it correct to say that the pressure increase on the inside of the syringe is equal to the pressure drop in the fluid (piping system)?

No. The pressure outside stays atmospheric.

No.
