What are the parts of a gas cylinder?

A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.


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 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 are cylinder gas shipments limited to?

A third, but much smaller market segment, consists of cylinder gas deliveries. Cylinder gas shipments are generally limited to expensive specialty gases and mixtures.

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.


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 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.


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.


What happens to the density of gas particles in a cylinder as the piston is raised?

The volume increases, therefore the density falls. Irrespective of any temperature changes.


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.


If the volume of a cylinder-piston arrangement containing a gas is increased by a factor of eight and the temperature is doubled the pressure inside the piston will by a factor of?

Decrease, 4


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.


Why volume of gas decreases on increasing pressure on it at constant temperature?

It is possible to explain this mathematically in terms of the Ideal Gas Laws, however, it should also be intuitively obvious that this is what would happen; when you press on a flexible substance, it compresses. This is equivalent to asking, why is it that when you push on a spring, you can make it shorter. Force moves things. How do you put pressure on a gas? You put it in a cylinder (such as the cylinder in an internal combustion engine) with a movable piston, and then you push the piston downward. Obviously, squeezing the gas will decrease its volume in the cylinder. The point about the constant temperature is that if you do this but the gas heats up, then the gas is going to push back. Again, this is what we see in an internal combustion engine. You compress the gas, but then there is fuel burned inside the cylinder, the gas gets very hot, and the piston is forced upward with considerable strength. So the engine runs.
