BOYLES LAW
Aerosol Cans
An aerosol can contains one fluid that boils well below room temperature (called the
propellant) and one that boils at a much higher temperature (called the product). The
product is the substance that is actually used -- the hair spray or insect repellent, for example
-- and the propellant is the means of getting the product out of the can. Both fluids are
stored in a sealed metal can.
There are two ways to configure this aerosol system. In the simpler design, you pour in the
liquid product, seal the can, and then pump a gaseous propellant through the valve system.
The gas is pumped in at high-pressure, so it pushes down on the liquid product with a large
amount of force.
In this can, a long plastic tube runs from the
bottom of the can up to a valve system at the top
of the can. It has a small, depressible head piece,
with a narrow channel running through it. The
channel runs from an inlet near the bottom of the
head piece to a small nozzle at the top.
A spring pushes the head piece up, so the channel
inlet is blocked by a tight seal.
The Syringe
Syringes of all types utilize Boyle's law on a very basic level.
When you pull the plunger out on a syringe, it causes the volume within the chamber to
increase. As we know, this causes the pressure to do the opposite, which then creates a
vacuum attempting to re-pressurize back to atmospheric levels. Since the only fluid available
on the other side of the needle tends to be a liquid such as blood, which gets sucked into the
chamber. This then reduces the volume and increases the pressure back to where it wants to
be.

Bullets
Bullets and cannons are based on these principles: gas super-heated by the burning of gun
powder is trapped behind the bullet and expands until the bullet leaves the barrel.
Engine Parts
Engine parts constantly expand and contract due to the fluctuation in heat within the engine.
That is why it is imperative that metals with similar specific heat capacities are put together,
because if one metal heats up faster than the other and theyre connected, and one expands
faster than the other, then cracking and splitting may occur.
Car radiator
Water is pumped through the channels in the engine block to absorb heat. It is used as the
cooling agent due to its high specific heat capacity. The hot water flows to the radiator and is
cooled by the air flows through the fins of the radiator. The cool water flows back to the engine
again to capture more heat and this cycle is repeated continuously.
Sea Breeze
Land has lower heat capacity than sea water. Therefore, in day time, the temperature of the land
increases faster than the sea. Hot air (lower density) above the land rises. Cooler air from the sea
flows towards land and hence produces sea breeze.
Land Breeze
Land has lower heat capacity than sea water. During night time, the temperature of the land
drops faster than the sea. Hot air (lower density) above the sea rises. Cooler air from the land
blows towards sea and hence produces land breeze.
