The volume of the space would decrease if the piston were to quickly move out, and the process would then reverse itself, taking another hundredth of a second to complete before everything was back to normal. The time it takes for the molecules to balance out is constant, regardless of how quickly or how far the piston is driven.
In mechanical engineering, a piston and cylinder are two sliding cylinders with closed heads that move reciprocally within a somewhat larger cylindrical chamber under pressure from a fluid, as in an engine or pump. The piston rod, which is rigidly coupled to the piston, can pass through one of the end cover plates of a steam engine's cylinder, which is closed by plates at both ends, using a gland and stuffing box (steam-tight joint).
An internal combustion engine's cylinder is open at one end to allow the connecting rod, which connects the piston to the crankshaft, to freely oscillate and is closed at one end by a plate known as the head.
