How does air circulate in passenger planes? | AFP

Two more Australian Open players have tested positive for the coronavirus, authorities revealed Wednesday, taking to the number of cases linked to the tennis tournament to 10. More than 1,000 players and staff arrived in largely coronavirus-free Australia on 17 charter planes last week, with the first cases detected on those flights.

well it was very generalized explanation , I think air passes from main compressor then towards the heat exchanger where all the heat is absorbed from the air, then the air flows towards the second compressor where it is again compressed then from the second heat exchanger it passes towards cooling turbine then towards the cabinet
It's actually a bootstrap method well there are various methods for air conditioning 👍

if they pull from the 2nd or 3rd stages what pressure could be expected between those stages? i know a cane harvester with 30ish odd pound has intake temps around 80 degrees Celius, also do the pilot ever have to switch off an engine to increase the rpm of the running engine to create enough pressure especially if an engine has a worn (compressor) stages from operating in sandy environments or would we expect to see compressor surge of those stages were worn?

just one of those things you think of at 30000 ft. in a tube full of people

wonder if it can filter out my farts

[@tomasinasau3309]

air comes through to the aircraft ram air, straight to the heat exchanger and then goes through to the filters which is then filled out and passed to the mixer from the mixer it goes to the cabin through the aircraft vents which also has filters.. this filtered air is now in the cabin
once it’s in the cabin the mufflers which are fitted in the ceiling of the cabin sucks any extra or already circulating air in the cabin through a muffler with an orifice which collects the dirt along with the air..
this air is then passed though to the cargo extraction fan and dumped out the vent of the aircraft either the forward or aft this is also true for the pax unite which cools the electric equipment in the aircraft
