  The Physics Classroom
The end of the tube represents a boundary between the enclosed air in the tube and the expanse of air outside of the tube.
That is, the pressure at the open end of a closed end air column are always oscillating between a high pressure and a low pressure while the closed end is always maintained at a normal pressure level.
Since the closed end acts as a fixed end which prevents the oscillation of air, the closed end remains at normal pressure; the close ends are always pressure nodes.

 THE PHYSICS OF CLOSED ENDED TUBES
All of the physics of a closed end tube behave exactly the same way in an open end tube with the exception of the reflection of the wave as it bounces off of the closed end.
At the closed end the pressure must remain that same for the reflected wave as it was for the incoming wave.
Now,if we try to play a closed end tube like a piece of pvc pipe like a trumpet, buzzing our lips into it (it's tough, but it can be done) or cylindrical bugle will produce a very weird set of notes which aren't very musical.

 Closed-End Air Columns
A closed-end instrument is an instrument in which one of the ends of the metal tube containing the air column is covered and not open to the surrounding air.
In the case of air columns, a closed end in a column of air is analogous to the fixed end on a vibrating string.
That is, at the closed end of an air column, air is not free to undergo movement and thus is forced into assuming the nodal positions of the standing wave pattern.

 Losing Patience with Closed-End Funds
I have been a student and investor of closed-end funds for many years -- I think since reading about them in one of your books.
I have bought most at large discounts on the premise that they will either reduce their discount or open end.
After all, they are by and large the same managers, and I assume that if there was a large gap between the performance of the two that you and other responsible financial reporters would widely report it.

 Types of Car Leases: Open-end and Closed-end. Be Careful!
This type of lease allows you to simply return your vehicle at the end of the lease and have no other responsibilities.
Closed-end leases are based on the concept that the number of miles you drive annually is fairly predictable (12,000 miles per year is typical), that the vehicle will not be driven in rough or abusive conditions, and that its value at the end of the lease (the residual) is therefore somewhat predictable.
At the time you lease, the leasing company estimates the vehicle's lease-end residual value and, if the vehicle is actually worth less than the residual when you turn it in, the leasing company takes the financial hit, not you.

 Closed End Mutual Funds
Because the number of shares of a closed end fund are limited and not usually redeemed by the fund itself, the shares often trade at a premium or discount to the underlying notes or equities within the fund.
The investment goals of these funds can be as varied as those of the open end funds.
Investors who purchase shares in a closed end fund are often trying to buy the value of the underlying assets when they believe the closed end fund is trading at a discount greater than justified.

Barring physical damage to the vehicle, excess wear and tear, or additional mileage beyond the mileage allocations in the lease, you have no contingent responsibility for the vehicle's value at the close of the lease.
With a closed-end lease, any loss of value through depreciation of the vehicle is the responsibility of the leasing company.
If it isn't, you may owe all or a portion of the difference, often called an "end-of-the lease payment." The Federal Consumer Leasing Act provides a measure of protection for leases in open-end leases by limiting the end-of-term liability to no more than the total of three monthly payments.
