A compressed fluid (also called a subcooled fluid) is a fluid under thermodynamic conditions that force it to be a steam. In a plot comparing absolute pressure and specific volume (commonly called a P-v diagram), of a real gas, a compressed fluid is to the left of the liquid-vapor phase boundary; that is, it will be to the left of the vapor dome.

Some of the conditions that cause a fluid to be compressed are the following:

§ A specific volume lesser than the specific volume of a saturated liquid

§ A fluid temperature below the saturation temperature

§ A pressure exceeding the saturation pressure

§ An enthalpy smaller than the enthalpy of a saturated liquid

Why are gases so easily compressible where as it is a almost impossible to compress a solid or liquid?

Gases have weak intermolecular forces and large spaces between particles, allowing them to be easily compressed. In contrast, solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces and fixed positions of particles, making them resistant to compression. Trying to compress a solid or liquid typically requires overcoming these strong forces, which is why it is difficult to compress them.


Are liquids easy to compress?

No, liquids are generally not easy to compress because the particles in liquids are already close together. When pressure is applied to a liquid, the particles are not able to move closer, so the volume of the liquid does not change significantly.


How do you turn butane gas into liquid?

Butane gas can be turned into liquid by increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature. This can be done in a closed container where the butane gas is compressed and cooled until it reaches its liquid state.


Can you compress helium?

Helium can be compressed under high pressure and low temperatures to turn it into a liquid. However, it cannot be compressed to the same extent as other gases due to its unique properties as a noble gas with very low boiling and freezing points.


Why are liquids difficult to compress?

Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.

Does packaged water need ullage?

Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.


Why does it take an enormous amount of pressure to compress a liquid?

It takes more pressure to compress a liquid than a gas because the molecules in a liquid are already much closer together than the molecules in a gas. To get them even closer requires a great deal of pressure.

What are two characteristics of fluids?

Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Gas is easy to compress and expands to fill its container while liquid is hard to compress.


What is harder to compress gas liquid or solid?

The molecules of a solid are the most tightly packed than those of either gas or liquid making it the hardest of the three to compress. Gas has the most space between molecules and is therefore the easiest to compress.


What is compressor use for?

compressor is used for compress the gas or liquid to a certain level "Based on design" like In a air-conditioning compressor is used for compress the gas on high temperature and high pressure in the result gas convert to high temperature liquid form.

Which is the hardest to compress?

Files that are already compressed, such as multimedia files like MP3 or JPEG, are typically harder to compress further because they lack redundancy and patterns that compression algorithms can take advantage of.
