This blog was an assignment for my chemical engineering fluid mechanics course at Auburn University. The posts are about naturally occurring fluid mechanics phenomena that I noticed on a daily basis.

Tire Pressure
Today, as I was riding to school on the tiger transit I became mindful of the air pressure in the tires of the bus. The pressure acts evenly on every part of the interior surface of the tire equally. Due to the large mass of the bus, the tire pressure must be extremely high and the tires must be made of an extremely durable rubber to be able to withstand that high pressure.
