A laser MAY heat compressed air, but the amount of heating depends on several factors. Air, whether compressed or not, can absorb electromagnetic radiation in the range of frequencies that are used in lasers. How much heating occurs depends on the composition of the air. Note that while air has a typical average composition, the amount of nitrogen, oxygen, water, CO2, and pollutants can vary considerably. Different molecules absorb more strongly in certain characteristic wavelengths. This is the reason spectroscopy can be used to analyze the composition of a sample. It also depends on the exact frequency of the laser; different lasers operate at different frequencies.

How does a jet plane work?
The fan blades force and compress the incoming air and then the compressed air gets sprayed with jet fuel. The fuel and air mixture is then ignited by an electrical spark, which causes the mixture to expand and forced out the back of the engine providing thrust, forcing the plane forward.
Why computer room are air conditioned?
Remove heat. Large computers often use large amounts of electricity and thus disapate large amounts of heat. Gotta get rid of that heat.
What objects use pneumatic systems?
One of the most common is the bus or heavy goods vehicle - fitted with air brakes. Similarly the brakes on trains. However there is a huge range of industrial tools, machines and control systems powered by compressed-air.
What controls the laser unit in a laser printer?
DC Controller
Who invented the air source heat pump?
in early 1800
Why pump can't use for compressed air?
Pump cant use compressed air because its a heat exchange process where mostly burnt fuel is converted as a source of energy . Compressed air is best in compressor engines .
What are the properties of compressed air.can it hold more heat when air passed through a heat exchanger?
Yes
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
When a volume of air is compressed its temperature does it increase or decrease or neither?
There is a thing called the "heat of compression" which causes all compressed substances to increase in temperature.
Does compressed air transfer heat better than normal air?
Yes. The molecules of oxygen and nitrogen, when compressed, are closer together and the heat will transfer from one molecule to the next more easily than at normal pressure. It is wise to remember there is a danger that heating a vessel containing compressed air will increase the internal pressure even further, and may cause the vessel to rupture.
What is the study of compressed air?
compressed air science
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.
Explain the tire becomes warm when air is being pumped into it?
when air is compressed it heats up because the uncompressed air contains heat. Heat is a form of energy that's all around us even in the coldest winter. Cold is void of heat, cold is caused by the lack of heat energy. That being said, when you compress air containing heat, the heat is also compressed. This causes the tire and the air inside to be warmer that the surrounding area till the heat is dissipated to the surrounding area. The tire and it's air inside becomes the same temperature as the surrounding space. Just remember, heat is a form of energy.
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 do compressed air dryers do?
A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.
How does pneumatic air gun work?
it works with compressed air
Does compressed air sink more than non compressed air?
yes
