Distinguish between atmospheric tank and pressure tank?

An atmospheric tank operates at ambient pressure (0 psi) and is not pressurized, while a pressure tank is designed to maintain pressure above ambient levels (greater than 0 psi), often used for storing liquids or gases under pressure. Pressure tanks are capable of storing more volume due to the internal pressure.


Why is there more air pressure in the first layer of atmosphere?

The atmosphere consists of 5 layers: the troposphere, which we live in; followed by stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Air pressure at any of these layers is typically caused by hydrostatic pressure, defined as P = hpg, where P is the pressure, h is the height or depth of fluid, and g is the gravitational acceleration. In simple context, my physics lecturer once explained to me: the reason why we live under an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar is simply because there is a column of air above us. As we move upwards (e.g. in an airplane or on top of a mountain), the height of this column is reduced, thus the atmospheric pressure is less. Therefore, the first layer of atmosphere (or the lowest layer) will experience the highest air pressure.


Are diamonds made from volcanoes?

No, diamonds are not made from volcanoes. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature, typically found in kimberlite pipes that bring them to the surface through volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes can bring diamonds closer to the surface, but they are not the source of their formation.


Can you walk on Jupiter?

No, it is not possible to walk on Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface to walk on. The extreme pressure and gravity on Jupiter would also make it impossible for a human to stand or move on its surface.


The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA says that there is ice on some parts of the moon. What does this tell you about temperatures on these parts of the moon?

The message is that it's really cold there. As the moon has no atmosphere, there is no atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure has a pronounced effect on the boiling point of water. If the water does exist on the moon and it does lie on the surface in a "no-pressure" situation, it would have to be very cold to remain there under the circumstances.

Can I capture co2 under atmospheric pressure?

You will need to use a carbon scrubber device to capture co2 under atmospheric pressure.


What C does water boil under normal atmospheric pressure?

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.


Is the state of lithium a solid under atmospheric pressure?

Yes


Why are you not crushed under atmospheric pressure?

The fluids in your body exert pressure and prevent the atmospheric pressure from closing in. Fluids exert pressure on a container the particles collide with each other and the sides of the container.


Does atmospheric pressure still exert a force on you when you are under water?

Atmospheric pressure exerts more force on you if you are deeper than 10 meters. At 10m below sea level the atmospheric pressure is double that of on land and it increase with every 10 metres that you descend


How water is evaporated at a lower temperature under vacuum conditions?

Under vacuum conditions, the pressure is lower, which reduces the boiling point of water. This allows water to evaporate at a lower temperature than under normal atmospheric conditions. The lower pressure decreases the need for high temperatures to overcome atmospheric pressure and facilitate evaporation.


Can mean effective pressure less than atmospheric pressure?

no Because any body subject is affected by the atmospheric pressure in the case of its occurrence under the pressure of what it means that the pressure for increased atmospheric pressure.


Why human body does not collapse by atmospheric pressure?

The human body is well adapted to withstand the atmospheric pressure. Our internal organs and cavities are filled with fluids that apply equal pressure, counteracting the external pressure. Additionally, our body tissues and structures are strong enough to maintain their shape and integrity under normal atmospheric conditions.


Can carbon dioxide be a liquid?

Yes, carbon dioxide can exist as a liquid under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. At atmospheric pressure, it sublimes directly from a solid to a gas (dry ice). However, under high pressure and low temperature, it can exist as a liquid.


What does Hg stand for in the metric system?

Nothing.Hg is the chemical symbol for Mercury and, under the old system, atmospheric pressure was measured in terms of the height of a column of mercury that it could support. In the SI systems this has been replaced by pressure measured in Pascals. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa.


What term best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure?

The term "compressed gas" best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure. This typically refers to gases that have been compressed into a smaller volume using pressure vessels.


Can a liquid diffuse into a solid?

Opals are an example of water diffusing into rock under enormous pressure and millions of years.
