Chapter 17, Problem 83GP
A temperature controller, designed to work in a steam environment, involves a bimetallic strip constructed of brass and steel, connected at their ends by rivets. Each of the metals is 2.0 mm thick. At 20°C, the strip is 10.0 cm long and straight. Find the radius of curvature r of the assembly at 100°C. See Fig. 17–22.

A sauna has 8.5 m3 of air volume, and the temperature is85°C. The air is perfectly dry. How much water (in kg)should be evaporated if we want to increase the relativehumidity from 0% to 10%? (See Table 13–3.)
103 The area A of a rectangular plate is ab = 1.4 m². Its coef
cient of linear expansion is a = 32 x 10-6/C. After a temper
ture rise AT = 89°C, side a is longer by Aa and side b is long
by Ab (Fig. 18-61). Neglecting the small quantity (Aa Ab)la

A hot air balloon uses a gas flame to heat the air it contains to a temperature required to
enable it to hover at a small distance above ground level. The mass of the balloon, ropes,
basket and riders is 240 kg and the volume of the balloon is 1100 m³. The temperature of
the surrounding air is 15°C and its density is 1.23 kg m-³.
To what temperature does the air in the balloon need to be heated?
