What happens to gas temperature in different parts of closed chamber (let's say for arguments sake, a closed cylinder made out of material that transduces heat minimally) that is rotated centrifugally so, that one end of the chamber experiences much greater centrifugal acceleration than the other end?
Since the gas pressure obviously raises in the outer end (end spinning farther from the rotation axis) of the chamber, is it so that the gas temperature at the outer end raises and stays hotter than the temperature at the inner end?
Can such a device be categorized a heat pump (transmits thermal energy from colder inner end of the chamber to hotter outer end of the chamber) and if so, how does it draw the energy from rotating motion of the chamber?
