Does pressure change in a submarine?

Now, a submarine is basically a metal container filled with air, and there is just enough air in a submarine to exert the atmospheric pressure at sea level. If the submarine goes underwater, the amount of air within it does not change (unless there is a leak, of course), so the pressure within the sub remains the same.

Do you feel pressure in submarine?

Even if the submarine dives to 300 meters (I’m picking something at random), you’ll feel mostly the same. It will be just like enjoying a cup of tea in a windowless room at sea level. This is because the interior of the vessel is kept at an approximate pressure of 1 atmosphere, which is what you feel at the surface.

Why do we need pressurized cabins in submarines?

Pressurization becomes increasingly necessary at altitudes above 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above sea level to protect crew and passengers from the risk of a number of physiological problems caused by the low outside air pressure above that altitude.

What do you think would happen to passengers if airplane cabins were not pressurized?

If a cabin crew does not remember to pressurize the cabin, as with the Jet Airways flight, the gases in your body will expand beyond what they are supposed to, rupturing tissues and causing bleeding. These injuries are called barotrauma.

Are submarine cabins pressurized?

Airplane cabins are all pressurized, which allows passengers to breathe as easily on the ground as they do at the maximum cruising altitude. Space shuttles and submarines must also be pressurized. The cabins of commercial jetliners are pressurized.

Is an airplane cabin pressurized?

Most aircraft cabins are pressurized to 8,000 feet above sea level, an altitude that lowers the amount of oxygen in the blood by about 4 percentage points, researchers say. Most commercial aircraft are pressurized to 6,000 to 8,000 feet, not sea level.

How much pressure can a submarine handle?

The maximum that most submarines can dive is about 2,000 feet (2,000/33=60 bars. 60 + 1 bar air pressure is equal to almost 900psi!), so the pressure pushing into the submarine is around 900psi and the air pressure pushing out is only 14psi.
