When air particles are compressed, the density is increased. There is more pressure within a region or within a container. There are more molecules in a given volume, and this can cause the air to heat up.
- The pressure of the air increases, as does its temperature, as its volume decreases.

all are gases and their molecules are very far from each other and have large
separation between them.
Thus, they get the ability to get compressed.

The particals of the gases are come together in high pressure.

What happens when a compressed air can gets hot?
tae
When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?
Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
What is the study of compressed air?
compressed air science
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
What happens to air when it is compressed or allow to expand?
It cools, and when it is compressed, it warms

What happens to air when air compresses?
When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules
When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?
Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air
What happens in the upstroke of the piston in the crankcase in a four stoke engine?
On compression the air is compressed, and on exhaust it is forced out of the cylinder.On compression the air is compressed, and on exhaust it is forced out of the cylinder.
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
What is the study of compressed air?
compressed air science
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
Which categories is usage of compressed air and gas divided into?
The three major categories of usage for compressed air and gas are: compressed air and gas for process services, compressed air for power, and compressed air for general industrial applications.
What happens when air is compressed from 1cubic meter of air to 0.5 cubic meter?
The quotient of (its absolute temperature)/(its pressure) decreases by half.
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
What happens when air gets compressed?
Air warms up when it gets compressed. The equation is PV = NrT where P is pressure, V is volume, N is a number of molecules, r is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
