Experiment Title:
Demonstration of Basic Physics in Compressed Air System
Objective:
To get the practical understanding & application of basic gas laws in compressed air
system.
Professional Advice:
Air is a free commodity, available everywhere around us. Care is required while dealing
air i.e. increasing its temperature, decreasing volume etc. Because container with
pressurized air can be dangerous when not dealt properly.
Safety Precaution:
• Fire is hazardous, do not play with it.
• Distant yourself from fire and balloon when bringing these near to each other.
• air receiver tank contains pressurized air just like Inflated balloon contains
pressurized air just like in a compressed air system. Proper care is required.
Theory:
Book topics:
1.2.1 Gas Laws
• Boyle’s Law
• Charles’s Law
• Amonton’s Law
• Bernoulli’s principal
Accessories/Equipment:
• Balloon
• Spirit Lamp/lighter
• Pump
• Galss of water
• Straws
Procedure:
1. Boyle’s Law:
a. Take a balloon.
b. Inflate the balloon to increase pressure.
c. Observe the volume of balloon with increasing and deceasing pressure.
2. Charles Law:
a. Take a balloon.
b. Take it near to a spirit lamp/lighter.
c. Observe what happens to the balloon when its comes near to spirit
lamp/lighter.
3. Amonton’s Law:
a. Take a balloon.
b. Take it near to a spirit lamp/lighter.
c. Observe what happens to the air molecules inside the balloon when its
comes near to spirit lamp/lighter.
4. Bernoulli’s Principal:
a. Inflate two balloons with air
b. Hang both balloons with string with distance of few inches
c. Blow the space in between the balloons with straw
d. Observe what happens to balloons.
2. Charles’s Law:
a. What happens to balloon when lighter comes near it?
b. What will happen when temperature of overall environment increases?
3. Amonton’s Law:
a. How pressure is related to random motion of air molecule inside the
balloon?
b. How random motion of air molecules is affected by increase or decrease of
temperature?
c. What happens to balloon when lighter comes near it?
4. Bernoulli’s Principal:
a. Why two balloons come nearer instead of going apart when air is blown in
between them?
b. What happens when air flows at the faster velocity?
c. how pressure and velocity are correlated to each other?
Conclusion:
Pressure, volume and temperature are the properties of gas which are corelated with
each other. Changing one property will also changes the other. These basic laws of gas
on which whole compressed air system works.
