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

In summary: The pressure increase on the inside of the syringe would be greater than the pressure drop in the fluid due to the compressibility of the gas inside the syringe. In summary, the pressure increase on the inside of the syringe is not equal to the pressure decrease on the outside when the syringe is pressurized or connected to a piping system.

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.
 

1. What is pressure change feedback?

Pressure change feedback refers to the response or reaction of a system to changes in pressure. It involves measuring and analyzing the changes in pressure within a system and using that information to make adjustments or improvements.

2. How does pressure change feedback work?

Pressure change feedback works by using sensors to measure pressure changes within a system. The data collected by the sensors is then analyzed and used to provide feedback to the system, allowing it to adjust and maintain optimal pressure levels.

3. What are the benefits of using pressure change feedback?

The benefits of using pressure change feedback include improved efficiency and accuracy in pressure control, reduced downtime and maintenance costs, and increased safety and reliability of the system.

4. What types of systems can benefit from pressure change feedback?

Pressure change feedback can be beneficial for a variety of systems, including industrial processes, HVAC systems, medical equipment, and hydraulic systems. Any system that requires precise pressure control can benefit from pressure change feedback.

5. How can pressure change feedback be implemented in a system?

Pressure change feedback can be implemented through the use of pressure sensors, data collection and analysis software, and control systems that can interpret and respond to the feedback. It is important to carefully design and calibrate the system to ensure accurate and effective pressure control.
