Summary of "2 Fundamentos físicos Curso neumática FESTO"

This video explains the basic physical principles underlying pneumatic systems, focusing on pressure concepts and the relationship between pressure and volume in gases, particularly air. Understanding these fundamentals helps in grasping how pneumatic systems operate and convert energy.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

Pressure Basics:
- Atmospheric Pressure: Present everywhere on Earth, generally constant at sea level (~100 kPa).
- Gauge Pressure (P_G): Pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure = zero point). pressure gauges on pneumatic circuits typically show gauge pressure. When pressure is mentioned without a subscript, it refers to gauge pressure.
- Vacuum Pressure (P_V): Any pressure below atmospheric pressure is called vacuum pressure.
- Absolute Pressure: Sum of gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.
Properties of Air:
- Air has no fixed shape; it takes the shape of its container.
- Compressed air stores energy.
- When released, compressed air can perform work (e.g., moving objects).
Energy Conversion in Pneumatics:
- Mechanical energy (e.g., from a reciprocating pump) can be converted into compressed air energy.
- Compressed air energy can be stored (e.g., in a balloon).
- Stored energy can be converted back into mechanical energy (e.g., moving a toy truck or lifting a load with a pneumatic cylinder).
Pressure-Volume Relationship (Boyle’s Law):
- The product of volume (V) and pressure (P) is constant for a given amount of gas at constant temperature: V × P = constant
- Example demonstration with a cylinder:
  - Initial volume = 2 L, pressure = 100 kPa → V × P = 200.
  - Reducing volume by half doubles pressure → 1 L, 200 kPa → product still 200.
  - Reducing volume again by half → 0.5 L, 400 kPa → product remains 200.
- This shows an inverse relationship: as volume decreases, pressure increases proportionally.
Application to Compressors:
- Using the formula V1 × P1 = V2 × P2, the outlet pressure of a compressor can be calculated.
- Example:
  - Initial volume (V1) = 7 L
  - Final volume (V2) = 1 L
  - Initial pressure (P1) = atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
  - Solve for outlet pressure (P2): P2 = (V1 × P1) / V2 = 700 kPa.
  - Pressure increase by compressor = 700 kPa - 100 kPa = 600 kPa.

Methodology / Instructions Presented:

To calculate pressure changes due to volume changes in gases:
- Use the formula: V × P = constant
- Measure initial volume and pressure.
- Measure final volume.
- Calculate final pressure using: P₂ = (V₁ × P₁) / V₂
To find compressor outlet pressure:
- Identify initial volume, final volume, and initial pressure.
- Apply the formula above to calculate outlet pressure.
- Subtract initial pressure to find pressure increase.
