Temperature and Heat
The topic that I chose to discuss for this week’s real-world
discussion is thermal expansion. This topic is relative in our everyday lives
both professionally and personally. They three key applications for this
topic are the materials of an aircraft expanding due to the friction created
by the air, coolant overflow tanks in cars, and even frozen pipes that
burst.
Thermal expansion is the process of substances such as solids, liquids,
and gasses to expand or contract when heated or cooled. Depending on
temperature, the expansion or contraction of an object is much larger yet
still unnoticeable to the human eye. To further understand this concept,
the explanation for these objects to expand or contract is “because the
atoms and molecules vibrate through a larger distance and push each
other apart” (Ostkiek & Bord, 2018, p. 172). Within this topic there is two
sub-topics. These topics include linear thermal expansion and volume
thermal expansion. The equation to find the linear expansion of an object
is: where is the original length (m), is the change in temperature (C), and
is the coefficient of solids (x 10^-6/C). For volume thermal expansion, the
following equation is used to determine the expansion: where is the
change in volume, is the initial volume (m^3), is the coefficient of volume
expansion (10^-6/K) and is the change in temperature (C).
There are several impacts that thermal expansion has on our everyday life
and aviation. To begin, the materials used in creating aircraft is not
susceptible to thermal heat from the friction caused by the air. Typically,
an aircraft will expand between 15-25 centimeters during a flight due to
the air friction (The Physics Hypertextbook, n.d.). We also experience
thermal expansion in the coolant overflow tanks within our cars. When the
engine becomes too hot the coolant expansion tank absorbs the heat and
minimizes the pressure in the engine. Finally, we also experience busted
pipes in the winter.
Thermal expansion is a very important and relevant topic to discuss and
understand. To begin, engineers must take this concept into consideration
when building a bridge or even a building. If the calculation is done
incorrectly and the materials used to create the structure expand or
2
contract could cause a unstable infrastructure and could
collapse.

The left side of this equation tells how much energy Q the cylinder gives to the water while it cools. The right
side of this equation tells how much energy Q the water and aluminum cup absorb from the cylinder to warm
up. Because it is the same energy, they are equal.
What is known in this equation?
Mcyl
411.7 g, malum
46.5 g, malum+water
= 175 g
Can you find: mwater =? g
Twater = Talum = 20°C (water and cup of room temperature)
90°C, T; = 35°C (hot cylinder and cool "cylinder+cup+water" temperatures)
Tcyl
kCal
Calum = 0.22, Cwater
1 (specific heat of water and aluminum, measured in units
kg-°C
What are we looking for is Ccul - How we find it? Plug all the numbers into the equation (1), Ccul will be one
unknown which you can calculate from the equation. Important, convert all the masses from grams to kilograms!
After
you find Ccyl, compare it to known value for the copper 0.093(our cylinder is made out of copper).

Newton's Law of cooling states that the rate at which heat is lost by a heated body is
proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the surrounding
medium. Match the following statements/phrases with the corresponding item in the
drop down box. Choices in the box
1. In accordance with the stated law obove, we have the equation?
2. If a thermometer is taken outdoors where the temperoture is 5 deg C, from a
room in which the temperature is 20 deg C and the reading drops 10 deg C in one
minute, the working equation is?
3. In the obove problem, separoting the variables and integrating will result to?
4. In the obove problem, how long, in minutes, after its removal from the room will
the reading be 6 deg C?
5. In the obove problem, ofter 30 seconds, whot will be the thermometer reading?
5.2
dT(body temp)/dt = k(Temp of medium - 5)
dr(body temp)/dt = k(Temp of body - Temp of medium)
Temp of body = Cenkt +5

Question 1: Sally's pet lizard makes a weird groaning noise every couple of seconds. She
notices that the number of groans per minute is very regular, but increases as the temperature
increases. Further observations reveal that the number of groans per minute actually has a
linear relationship with temperature over the normal range of temperatures in the lizard's
natural environment. So she decides to make use of her lizard as a thermometer.
Sally measures that the number of groans per minute at 10.0°C is 12, and the number of groans
per minute at 45.0°C is 31. If she measures that the number of groans per minute in the lizard's
usual aquarium is 24, what is the temperature in the aquarium, in degrees Celcius? You can
check your answer using the Mastering Physics assignment.
Math tip: A linear relationship between two quantities X and Y, means that for a change in X
(which we usually call AX), the change in Y is given by AY = m AX, where m is some constant. In
the range of X where this…
