Lifting a piston on a cylinder of gas shows the relationship between volume and pressure of the gas. As the piston is lifted, the volume of the gas increases, which causes the pressure to decrease. This demonstrates Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant.

What are the parts of a gas cylinder?
A typical gas cylinder consists of a cylinder body, valve, pressure rating marking, and protective cap. The cylinder body is where the gas is stored, the valve controls the flow of gas, the pressure rating marking indicates safe operating pressure, and the protective cap helps keep the valve clean and protected during storage or transport.
Why can use not fill a cylinder with gas?
You can fill a cylinder with gas.
Where is the place gas is stored?
Gas cylinder.
What happens when heat is applied to a gas contained in a cylinder?
When heat is applied to a gas contained in a cylinder, the gas molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster. This increase in speed causes the gas to expand, increasing its volume and pressure inside the cylinder. If the cylinder is sealed, the pressure will build up until the gas escapes or the cylinder bursts.
What volume of gas would be in a cylinder of 100cm3 after a week?
- if the cylinder is sealed by welding, the same volume- if the cylinder is open - any initial gas
What is the operation of a piston?
It transfers force from the expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod.
Where is piston rings located in engine?
The piston rings are fitted round the piston to make a better gas-tight fit in the cylinder.
What happens to the density of gas particles in a cylinder as the piston is raised?
As the piston is raised in a cylinder with gas particles, the volume available for the gas particles to occupy increases. This results in the gas particles spreading out and the density of the gas decreasing.
How much clearance is allowed from the piston to the cylinder wall on a 2000 YZ 125?
Well...... you need A LITTLE bit of clearance for the gas mixture to lubricate the piston and cylinder. Plus your piston expands when it gets hot.
Why piston rings are too loos on piston?
gas pressure has to get round the back of the ring to force it against the cylinder wall
How do cars use gas?
Simple explanation : the gas in forced into the cylinder, then the piston compresses it, then the spark plug makes it explode, which forces the piston back down, turning the crankshaft, forcing another piston into compressing more gas. rinse and repeat.
Is piston cylinder process is constant pressure process or constan volume process?
A piston cylinder process actually includes two processes. The gas inside the piston undergoes both the constant pressure process and the contant volume process.
So if a gas tank and cylinders aren't the same what do the cylinders do?
No a gas tank is where you store the fuel a cylinder is the housing for the piston in the engine.
What is a stirling engine?
The Stirling engine was invented by Reverend Dr. Robert Stirling and patented by him in 1816.It is an engine that gets it's power from the movement of heat energy from a hot place to a cold place. It consists of two cylinders, the first one is called the displacement cylinder and the second one is the power cylinder.The displacement cylinder has two sections, a hot section and a cold section, the piston in the displacement cylinder is a loose fit so that air or gas can pass by when it is moving, the purpose of this piston is to move the air or gas from the hot section to the cold section and back to the hot section hence "displacing it".Second is the power cylinder containing a double acting piston that is connected to a crankshaft fitted with a fly wheel.When the displacing piston moves to the cold part of the cylinder, the largest volume of air or gas is in the hot part of the displacement cylinder, where it will heat up and expand to a higher volume and push the power piston outwards, when the displacement piston moves to the hot side of the cylinder the air or gas moves over to the cold side of the cylinder, where it will cool down and shrink to a smaller volume and form a vacuum that sucks the power piston in the opposite direction.
What is difference between reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor?
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.
What would cause gas in the oil?
Could be a serious problem. Most likely a bad piston ring allowing gas to slip by the piston and cylinder wall, and mixing with the oil in the crankcase. --- It would depend on the car. It could also be sticking injectors.
How is gas used to fuel a car?
The function of gas as fuel for a car is to explode inside the cylinder pushing the piston down, causing the crankshaft to turn, and transmitting this action to the wheels.
