thermometer is being designed for a process in which the temperature varies from 0 to 180 °C; from experience it is known that the process temperature, when it gets out of control, reaches up to 240 ° C. Considering that only the bulb is in contact with the part inside the equipment, what should be the volume of the safety vial? It is known that the bulb has a length of 1.2 cm and a diameter of 0.5 cm; the capillary has a length of 20 cm and the scale of the thermometer is -10 to 190 ° C. Consider that the coefficient of volumetric expansion for mercury is 1.82×10−4 ° C− 1

Question

A thermometer is being designed for a process in which the temperature varies from 0 to 180 °C; from experience it is known that the process temperature, when it gets out of control, reaches up to 240 ° C.

Considering that only the bulb is in contact with the part inside the equipment, what should be the volume of the safety vial?

It is known that the bulb has a length of 1.2 cm and a diameter of 0.5 cm; the capillary has a length of 20 cm and the scale of the thermometer is -10 to 190 ° C. Consider that the coefficient of volumetric expansion for mercury is 1.82×10−4 ° C− 1
