AI Thread Summary
Inflating a tire from 10 psig to 30 psig involves both mass and energy transfer processes. As air is pumped into the tire, mass transfer occurs as air molecules enter the tire, increasing pressure. The process also generates heat due to the compression of air, indicating energy transfer. If the tire were to explode, the energy released would originate from the compressed air and the work done by the pump. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for grasping the physics behind tire inflation.

Homework Statement


Inflate the tyre from 10 psig to 30 psig.
Explain the process of mass and energy transfer in inflating tyre

Homework Equations


No equation

The Attempt at a Solution


I think there is no energy transfer on it process and there is only mass transfer. But i read some article it says that it increase the heat to in its process. Can someone explain?[/B]

If the tyre were to explode energy would be released right? Where did that energy come from originally if not the pump?
