When you blow on the back of your hand with your mouth wide open, your breath feels warm. But if you partially close your mouth to form an “o” and then blow on your hand, your breath feels cool. Why?
Commercial airplanes fly at a maximum altitude of about 35,000 feet. The measured speed of sound at that altitude is 295.4 m/s. Estimate the temperature of the air at such height. Give your answer in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Consider the Concorde supersonic transport flying at twice the speed of sound at an altitude of 16 km. At a point on the wing, the metal surface temperature is 362 K. The immediate layer of air in contact with the wing at that point has the same temperature and is at a pressure of 1.04 × 10 4 N/m^2. Calculate the air density at this point

- How much stress is cleated in a steel beam if its temperature changes from 15 to 40 but it cannot expand? For steel, the Young's modulus Y=210109N/m2 from Stress, Strain, and Elastic Modulus (http://cnx.org/content/m58342/latest/#fs-id1163713086230). (Ignore the change in area resulting from the expansion.)arrow_forwardGlobal warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 C. Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean wan-ling is not uniform with depth.arrow_forwardThe pressure gauge on a cylinder of gas registers the gauge pressure, which is the difference between the interior pressure and the exterior pressure P0. Lets call the gauge pressure Pg. When the cylinder is full, the mass of the gas in it is mi at a gauge pressure of Pgi. Assuming the temperature of the cylinder remains constant, show that the mass of the gas remaining in the cylinder when the pressure reading is Pgf is given by mf=mi(Pgf+P0Pgi+P0)arrow_forward
