What you're describing sounds suspiciously like a worn compressor.

How does the temperature affect pressure measured in inch's of water?

Only by virtue of the change in density of water. As water expands with temperature rising its density falls slightly so the height of water for a given pressure will increase slightly.


The Speed of Sound in air is?

Varies slightly, depending on air pressure, humidity, and temperature, but ABOUT 770 mph.


What is the temperature of dry saturated steam at 510psig?

It will vary slightly with changes in atmospheric pressure, but is approximately 472ºF.


What will blood pressure or body temperature will be after an 1 hour workout?

around 100 degrees, and bp will be slightly elevated.


What is the temperature of ice water before the ice is completely melted?

It depends slightly on the atmospheric pressure. At standard pressure the answer is 0 C or 32 F


What is the unit weight of water?

It depends on the temperature and pressure but it is very slightly under 1 gram per cubic centimetre.


What is 29 degrees Fahrenheit?

It is a temperature that is slightly lower than the freezing point of pure water at normal pressure.


How would the temperature be affected if a distillation were performed on the top of a mountain?

The temp would be slightly lower because the air pressure is lower.


Does temperature affect tire pressure?

Yes, if the weather is hot - Air in the tire will expand slightly and will have an effect on the pressure as it wants to take up more room in size. If the weather is cold the air will contract and more air will be needed - the reason for the extra air is so that the tire doesn't go down. The Math: Pressure increases directly with Temperature. So there's an easy formula to use.Since 0 psig in a tire is really 14.7 psia and 0oC is really 273oK the temperature and pressure for the tires you fill is Start Pressure = (Pressure on the gauge + 14.7) psia, and Start Temperature = (Measured temp +273) . Temperature at the end = End Temperature = (Measured temp in C + 273), and pressure at the new temperature = End Pressure So: End Pressure = Start Pressure x End Temperature / Start Temperature Since End Pressure includes an extra 14.7 psia, subtract it out and that's the pressure on the gauge in psig.


What is the differencein pressure between salt water and fresh water at different depths?

Currents and thermal gradients aside, salt water is slightly more dense than fresh water, so (at the same depth, for the same temperature) the pressure in salt water will be creater than for fresh water. The difference in pressure will be (pressure in fresh water) x (density of salt water/density of fresh).


What is the testing pressure for cfm?

There is some variation between different standards, see Wikipedia for NTP (Normal temperature and pressure). However the normal pressure is around 1 bar in all cases, varying only slightly.


Does the Viscosity changes with the temp and pressure?

The viscosity of a substance will change with both temperature and pressure. For liquids the changes induced by a change in temperature are usually more readily observed than the changes from pressure because liquids are only slightly compressible with pressure. In gasses, the changes in viscosity with pressure are much more easily demonstrated because gases are, almost by definition, quite compressible so that the density can be easily changed by either changes in pressure or changes in temperature.
