Bicycle pump

Assume that, when you press in the piston of a bicycle pump, the volume inside the pump is decreased from about 100. cm3 to 20. cm3 before the air flows into the tire. Suppose that the compression is isothermal estimate the final pressure of the compressed air in the pump, given an initial pressure of 1.00 atm. 

C05-0050. A bicycle pump inflates a tire whose volume is 565 mL until the internal pressure is 6.47 atm at a temperature of 21.7 °C. How many moles of air does the tire contain What volume of air at 1.01 atm and 21.7 °C did the pump transfer ... 

The process in Figure 23-2 shows the compression of the ethylene in two stages. (There are more.) Ethylene will start to polymerize on its own in an uncontrolled fashion at 212°F, so in between compressors, the gas needs to be cooled. (Compression always makes the gas temperature rise. Thats why the bottom of your bicycle pump is hot after youVe filled your tire.)... 

Another great scientist who lived around the same time as Isaac, in the seventeenth century, was Robert Boyle. Robert discovered one of the fundamental laws about gases.This law, called Boyle s law, states that when pressure increases on a gas, the volume decreases (as long as the temperature stays the same). If you close the opening of a bicycle pump and press down on the handle, the volume decreases but the pressure increases. It gets harder and harder to push. Robert had discovered the law, but he didn t know why gases acted this way and no one else did either. 

When a gas is compressed, it heats up. When it expands, it cools. Anyone who uses a bicycle pump knows this. However, it is no longer true for electron or neutron gases at very high densities. This deviation from the ideal gas laws has a catastrophic effect on stars. Moreover, the behaviour of a photon gas with regard to volume changes differs from that of a typical gas made up of atoms,... 

In 1662, Robert Boyle stated that the volume of a given amount of gas, at a constant temperature, varies inversely with the applied pressure. In other words, as external pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases by the same factor. This statement is known as Boyle s law. Figure 11.13 illustrates Boyle s law using a bicycle pump. 

With the piston pulled all the way out, the air pressure inside a bicycle pump equals the air pressure outside. 

The volume of an ordinary hand-operated bicycle pump is about 0.01 cu. ft., and the volume of a bicycle tire is about 0.06 cu. ft. At what point in the stroke of the pump does air start to enter a tire which is at a gage pressure of 47 lbs. per sq. in. Does the pressure in the tire change more per stroke when the tire is at gage pressure of 50 Ibs./sq. in. than at 20 Ibs./sq. in. ... 

The long cylinder of a bicycle pump has a volume of 1131 cm and is filled with air at a pressure of 1.02 atm. The outlet valve is sealed shut and the pump handle is pushed down until the volume of the air is 517 cm. Compute the pressure inside the pump. Express its value in atmospheres and pounds per square inch. 

Whaddya mean it won t work for things like safrole just because the substrate used was 1-hexene The only thing Strike had to go on years ago was one article [11] which had as its star 1-decene. And yet the method translates This last contribution (by Spiceboy again), shows that using methanol as a solvent works just fine and, as has been suggested by others, can lead to a reduction in the amount catalyst needed. Strike doesn t know what the hell is up with the bicycle pump, but to each her own ... 

FIGURE 5.13 A bicycle pump. The effects described by Boyle s Law (Section 5.9) in action. The pump compresses air into a smaller volume. You experience Boyle s law because you can feel the increasing pressure of the gas as you press down on the plunger. 

The volume of the air chamber of a bicycle pump is 0.26 L. The volume of a bicycle tire, including the hose between the pump and the tire, is 1.80 L. If both the tire and the air in the pump chamber begin at 743 torr, what will be the pressure in the tire after a single stroke to the pump ...

Cellulose acetate is also tough and rigid, but unlike celluloid is not highly flammable (but will bum when ignited). It possesses good electrical properties including arc resistance but is susceptible to moisture absorption which lowers these properties. Cellulose acetate is used mainly as sheet material in packaging, but is also employed as toothbmsh handles, knife handles, combs, bicycle pumps, fountain and ballpoint pens.
