Abstract:

Peristaltic Self-Inflating Tyre System (PSITS) is based on the peristaltic pump principle. This system is designed in order to constantly maintain the tyre pressure thereby improving safety of an automobile in times of emergency caused by perforation (by nails, screws, thorns, etc.,) or any other deformation. The PSITS uses a valve that pulls in air from the atmosphere. It then pumps the air into the under-inflated tyre using a peristaltic-pump action. The goal is to constantly maintain a specific pressure inside the tyre. The system consists of a thin tube that has a peristaltic part and a reservoir part, which has constant volume. The ratio of the total tube volume (peristaltic part volume + reservoir part volume) to the volume of the reservoir part defines the output pressure of the system. Summarized, integrating a simple thin tubing into a tyre and mounting a simple valve on one end of the tubing will secure inflation of the tyre with small amounts of air at constant pressure at every revolution of the tyre using rollers (coupled with the rotating tyres) until the tyre pressure reaches the predefined critical pressure. Then the inflation stops.

    Although fuel plays a mojor rolle in powering vehicles to move a vehicle’s tires play an even more integral role in the overall performance of the vehicle, as it dictates its handling, traction, ride, comfort and fuel consumption; as it is the main component that interacts with the surface being driven on (Rezna, 2008). Thus if the condition of the tires is improper the performance of the vehicle will be affected. One negative tire condition that can occur is low tire pressure/ under inflation. According to the Webster’s dictionary, under inflation is the insufficient presence of air pressure in a tire for the amount of load carried and vice versa for over inflation. This paper will examine the causes of reduced tire pressure, the tire pressure in places abroad, effects of under and over inflated tires, and tire pressure as it relates to furl consumption.…

    Procedures such as this are done to help widen the blood vessels to make blood flow easier. Devices such as balloons are used to extend the blood vessels' circumference. This procedure uses catheters wherein the balloons are attached at the tip and inserted in the affected vessel. Once the balloon is in its proper place, it will then be inflated to expand the blood vessel.…

    2. Fill the syringe to its maximum measured capacity of air (60.0 mL ± 0.5) by gradually pulling the syringe extender away from the actual syringe. [See Figure 1a]. Next, carefully attach the syringe to the stopcock, extender, rubber stopper, and pressure gauge accordingly. [See Figure 1b] Make sure the stock cock is opened (test the stock cock and syringe head of time so you know that the left turn allows the air to flow though while the right turn closes the valve and doesn’t let air escape) so that the air from the syringe can enter through the extender to the pressure gauge.…

    In this report I will use a pitot-static tube and a Venturi meter set up within an air flow rig to demonstrate the application of Bernoulli’s Equation and the assumption of inviscid flow. The air flow rig was set up and an imaginary matrix was defined across the cross sectional area of the air flow at the pitot-static section. The matrix had 4 cells going across (A, B, C, and D) the width and 5 cells down the height of the rig (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The pitot-static tube will be moved around to the centre of each cell so we can then take a reading for the pressure at that particular point, which can then be used to calculate the velocity across the matrix. This will enable me to determine how the pressure and flow performs in a non ideal situation by comparing the assumed volumetric flow rate at the pitot-static section with the calculated volumetric flow rate at the venturi. This will allow me to further discuss issues relating to why the values are different if they give different results.…
