- The measurement of the average coefficient of volume expansion for a liquid is complicated because the container also changes size with temperature. Figure P19.62 shows a simple means for measuring despite the expansion of the container. With this apparatus, one arm of a U-tube is maintained at 0C in a water-ice bath, and the other arm is maintained at a different temperature Tc in a constant-temperature bath. The connecting tube is horizontal. A difference in the length or diameter of the tube between the two arms of the U-tube has no effect on the pressure balance at the bottom of the tube because the pressure depends only on the depth of the liquid. Derive an expression for for the liquid in terms of h0, hi and Tc.arrow_forwardTwo cylinders A and B at the same temperature contain the same quantity of the same kind of gas. Cylinder A has three times the volume of cylinder B. What can you conclude about the pressures the gases exert? (a) We can conclude nothing about the pressures. (b) The pressure in A is three times the pressure in B. (c) The pressures must be equal. (d) The pressure in A must be one-third the pressure in B.arrow_forwardTwo metal bars are made of invar and a third bar is made of aluminum. At 0C, each of the three bars is drilled with two holes 40.0 cm apart. Pins are put through the holes to assemble the bars into an equilateral triangle as in Figure P18.31. (a) First ignore the expansion of the invar. Find the angle between the invar bars as a function of Celsius temperature. (b) Is your answer accurate for negative as well as positive temperatures? (c) Is it accurate for 0C? (d) Solve the problem again, including the expansion of the invar. Aluminum melts at 660C and invar at 1 427C. Assume the tabulated expansion coefficients are constant. What are (e) the greatest and (f) the smallest attainable angles between the invar bars? Figure P18.31arrow_forward

A radial energy current passes through a concentric cylinder of area 2rL. (b) The passenger section of a jet airliner is in the shape of a cylindrical tube with a length of 35.0 m and an inner radius of 2.50 m. Its walls are lined with an insulating material 6.00 cm in thickness and having a thermal conductivity of 4.00 105 cal/s cm C.
