Chapter 16, Problem 12PCE
When the bulb of a constant-volume gas thermometer is placed in a beaker of boiling water at 100 °C, the pressure of the gas is 227 mmHg. When the bulb is moved to an ice–salt mixture, the pressure of the gas drops to 162 mmHg. Assuming ideal behavior, as in Figure 16-3, what is the Celsius temperature of the ice–salt mixture?

The gas in a constant-volume gas thermometer has a pressure of 97.6 kPa at 0.00 °C. Assuming ideal behavior, as inFigure 16-3, what is the pressure of this gas at 105 °C?
A thermocouple, with a spherical junction diameter of 0.5 mm, is used for measuring the temperature of hot air flow in a circular duct. The convection heat transfer coefficient of the air flow can be related with the diameter (D) of the spherical junction and the average air flow velocity (V) as h = 2.2(V/D)0.5, where D, h, and V are in m, W/m2?K and m/s, respectively. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m?K, r = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg?K. Determine the minimum air flow velocity that the thermocouple can be used, if the maximum response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference is 5 s.
The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.5×105 N/m² at a
temperature of 35°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to
Alaska. What is their gauge pressure later, when their
temperature has dropped to -40.0°C?
HINT: Remember to convert temperatures to Kelvin first, and
gauge pressure to absolute pressure (just add 1 atm = 1x10^5
N/m2). After that you can use the ideal gas law, but the result will
be as an absolute pressure, so subtract back 1 atm before
entering the result as a gauge pressure.
Give your answer in units of [atm = 10^5 N/m2]

For those parameters, determine the rms velocity and the most probable speed, as well as the values of f(v) for each of these values. Compare these values with the graph in Problem 28. 28. Plot the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function for a gas composed of nitrogen molecules (N2) at a temperature of 295 K. Identify the points on the curve that have a value of half the maximum value. Estimate these speeds, which represent the range of speeds most of the molecules are likely to have. The mass of a nitrogen molecule is 4.68 1026 kg. Equation 20.18 can be used to find the rms velocity given the temperature, Boltzmanns constant, and the mass of the atom or molecule. The mass of a nitrogen molecule is 4.68 1026 kg. vrms=3kBTm=3(1.381023J/K)4.681026kg=511m/s Using the results of Problem 28 and the rms velocity, we can calculate the value of f(v). f(vrms) = (3.11 108)(511)2 e(5.75106(511)2) = 0.00181 The most probable speed, for which this function has its maximum value, is given by Equation 20.20. vmp=2kBTm=2(1.381023J/K)(295K)4.681026kg=417m/s f(vmp) = (3.11108)(417)2 e(5.75106(417)2) = 0.00199 We plot these points on the speed distribution. The most probable speed is indeed at the peak of the distribution function. Since the function is not symmetric, the rms velocity is somewhat higher than the most probable speed.

The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forward
