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

AI Thread Summary
Pressurizing a sealed syringe does not result in an equal pressure decrease outside, as the external pressure remains atmospheric. When the syringe is connected to a piping system with a non-compressible fluid, an increase in fluid pressure leads to a corresponding increase inside the syringe, but this does not equate to a pressure drop in the fluid system. The internal pressure of the syringe and the external pressures do not directly correlate in these scenarios. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate pressure management in fluid systems. The discussion clarifies misconceptions about pressure dynamics in sealed environments.

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.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
