Calorimeters are devices that are commonly used to measure the heating value of fuels. For example, a Junker's flow calorimeter is used to measure the heating value of gaseous fuels. A bomb calorimeter, on the other hand, is used to measure the heating value of liquid or solid fuels, such as kerosene, heating oil, or coal. Perform a search to obtain information about these two types of calorimeters. Write a brief report discussing the principles behind the operation of these calorimeters
Mercury is often used in thermometers. The mercury
sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and
rises up a thin capillary tube as the temperature rises.
Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 8,380g of
mercury and has a capillary that is 0.400mm in diameter.
How far does the mercury rise in the capillary when the
temperature changes from 0.0 0C to 25.0 0C?
The fuel gage for a gasoline (sp.gr.=0.68) tank in a car reads proportional to itsbottom gage. If the tank is 30 cm deep an accidentally contaminated with 2 cm of water, how many centimeters of gasoline does the tank actually contain when the gage erroneously reads “FULL”?

- Information about the level of CO present in the air is usually expressed in ppm, parts per million. This unit indicates how many parts of CO are in a million parts of air, for example, how many molecules of CO are in a million molecules of the gases that make up the air, or how many cm³ of CO are in a million cm³ of air . The maximum limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 9 ppm.The information corresponding to several days of a week in Buenos Aires was: Tuesday (8-16 hs) 8 ppm; Thursday (8am-4pm) 8.5ppm, (4pm-midnight) 3ppm; Friday (8am-4pm) 10.5ppm.
