Why does the temperature of the air increase when you pump up a tire?

When you pump air into a tire, you compress the air, reducing its volume. According to the ideal gas law, compressing a gas increases its pressure and temperature. The work done by the pump on the air molecules also generates heat, further raising the temperature. As a result, the air inside the tire becomes warmer as it is compressed.


Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?

Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.
