Simple question today... What is the pressure inside the CO₂ cartridges used by cyclists to inflate their tubes when they get a puncture?
Huge thanks to the REFPROP team at NIST! The software I use to plot all charts you see in the video is FREE for download here: trc.nist.gov/refprop/MINIREF/...
00:00 What is this cartridge?
01:08 The pressure is not constant
02:19 Is that PV=nRT!?
05:03 The pressure-enthalpy chart
05:50 Constant density
08:56 The contents are liquid
10:01 What happens when we heat it?
10:53 Heating to the limit
12:00 Homework for next time.
Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”
This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.
