by showing at what point it stops behaving like air (the pressure at which it condenses to a liquid).You can show that air has maximum compressibility using 3 syringes with one sealed with water, the other with air, and the other with chalk whereby the one with air will allow compression to the highest degree compared to the rest.

A large syringe or a bicycle pump is the best way. Place and hold a ball over the end of a large syringe, depress the plunger and let go of the ball

You can put an empty soda bottle in your mouth and suck out the air. The outside air exerts pressure, collapsing the bottle.

The compressibility of a liquid is?

In fluid mechanics, compressibility refers to volume change of liquid in response to pressure changes(also referred to as mean stress).


How is Relative Humidity Determined?

Is the percentage of water vapor that is actually in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a particular temperature.


A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its gravitational potential energy maximum?

Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.


What does it mean for the relative humidity of an air mass to be 70 percent?

Let's do a quick review of some facts about water vapor in air, and then we'll tackle this question. An air mass will have a given temperature and a given pressure. For air of a given temperature and pressure, only a certain amount of water vapor can be "suspended" in that air before it begins to condense and precipitate out (as rain, snow or something else). When the amount of water vapor in the air is at it maximum (for whatever temperature and pressure we cite), that air has 100% of the water vapor in it that it can hold. Any more water vapor and water will condense and precipitate out, as we stated. That's all we need to know to take on this question.When we consider the amount of water vapor in a given air mass, we use a "standard" or and "index" to relate that amount of water vapor to something "fixed" to make our measurement. The reference in this case will be the maximum amount of water vapor that an air mass can hold at that temperature and pressure (whatever they are). In the case of this question, if the relative humidity of an air mass is 70%, that air mass (whatever its temperature and pressure) is holding 70% of the water vapor that it can possibly hold. Note that term we use is relative humidity. The "amount" of humidity in an air mass that has a relative humidity of 70% is 7/10ths (70%) of the amount of water vapor that it can possibly hold altogether. We've compared the amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of vapor that it can hold.While it is true that an air mass may have this or that temperature and pressure, in any given air mass of whatever temperature and pressure, there is some maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, and when we look at the amount of water vapor in that air mass, we compare it to that maximum amount that it can hold. That's relatively humidity, and when relative humidity reaches 100%, that air is saturated with water vapor and we can expect it to begin to precipitate out in the form of rain or another form of precipitation (depending on temperature and conditions aloft).It might help to note that warmer air and air at higher pressure can hold relatively more water vapor that cooler, less "pressurized" (less dense) air. But whatever the temperature and pressure of an air mass, there is some maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, and we look at how much is in it, and compare that to the maximum amount, and call the comparison the relative humidity.

Why there are not pneumatic engines above 100kw?

pneumatic system use air and air has its limitation of use mainly due to its high compressibility as gas.high power applications may compress air to such an extent leading to destruction of the system.whereas hydraulics also have compressibility which is at an unnoticed level even at high pressure. I meant motors or generators that run on air released from a reservoir of compressed air.

What is the Carr's index?

The Carr's index is a measure of flowability of a powdered or granular material. It is calculated by taking the difference between the tapped and bulk densities of the material and dividing by the tapped density, and then multiplying by 100. A lower Carr's index value indicates better flowability of the material.


What is the effect of compressibility of air on the flight and at what velocities it becomes relevant?

It is only possible when air is strike on the surface of the aircraft due to that compressible wave are produced and it will generates tremendous amount of noise. Air is compressible so we cannot ignore that but amount of the compressibility depends on the speed of aircraft. Normally it can be noticed at speed more than 400km/h.
