The coolant in an automobile radiator is kept at a pressure higher than
atmospheric pressure. Why is this desirable? The radiator cap will release
coolant when the gauge pressure of the coolant reaches a certain value,
typically 15 lb/in.² or so. Why not just seal the system completely?
An automobile tire having a temperature of
6.4°C (a cold tire on a cold day) is filled to a
gauge pressure of 28 lb/in².
What would be the gauge pressure in the
tire when its temperature rises to 41°C? For
simplicity, assume that the volume of the tire.
remains constant, that the air does not leak
A sealed container with a lid of area 0.004 m2is filled with an ideal gas. The container and gas are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air. If a 2000 N block is needed to keep the lid from being pushed off the container, what is the absolute pressure inside the container (the pressure compared to vacuum) ?

- A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.55 × 107 Pa and a temperature of 25.0°C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. What is the final pressure, in pascals, in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? To what temperature, in kelvins, must the tank be cooled from its initial state to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)?arrow_forwardIn an air heating system, heated air at 40°C and 105 kPa absolute is distributed through a 0.2 m * 0.3 m rectangular duct made of commercial steel at a rate of 0.5 m3/s.

The balloon has a sealed, flexible chamber of helium gas that expands or contracts to keep the helium pressure approximately equal to the air pressure outside. The helium chamber sits on top of an open (that is, air can enter or leave), constant-volume chamber of propane-heated air. Assume that the hot air and the helium are kept at a constant temperature by burning propane. A balloon is launched at sea level, where the air pressure is 100 kPa. The density in the hot-air chamber is 1.0 kg/m3. What is the density of the air when the balloon has risen to a height where the atmospheric pressure is 33 kPa?A. 3.0 kg/m3B. 1.0 kg/m3C. 0.66 kg/m3D. 0.33 kg/m3arrow_forward

The tire is recommended to be inflated to 248 kPa. At the low pressure the tire outer radius is 56.65 cm and fully inflated is 67.81 cm. The outside temperature is 17 0C. What is the mass of the air to inflate the tire? How many air molecules are added to properly inflate the tire?arrow_forwardAt the end of a warm autumn day, you measure the air pressure in your car's tires and write down their pressure as 2.41 × 105 Pa (about 35 psi) when the outside temperature is 23°C. It cools down quite a bit overnight to -5°C. If you were to measure the air pressure in the tire on that cool morning, what pressure would you measure? Assume that you can ignore the change in the volume of the tire and that no air is released from the tire overnight.arrow_forward
- A certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.arrow_forward5E. When a mercury-in-glass thermometer is overheated, the top will break off due to the pressure increase from the expansion of mercury which has completed filled the volume of the capillary. A thick, well-tempered glass tube may withstand a maximum pressure of 50 atm without breaking. How far can a thermometer be heated past the temperature at which a capillary is filled before the pressure becomes this large? For mercury, a=1.8x10ª K' and K=3.9x106 atm"'arrow_forwardI've posted the below question earlier, and I received the answer. This is the question: A J-shaped tube is filled with air at 760 Torr and 22 °C. The long arm is closed off at the top and is 100.0 cm long; the short arm is 40.00 cm high. Mercury is poured through a funnel into the open end. When the mercury spills over the top of the short arm, what is the pressure on the trapped air? Let h be the length of mercury in the long arm. I need further explanation of one step: - when P2 is obtained in the short arm, the equation is 40-h+P1 1. How did we get this equation? 2. the short arm does not contain any air, why do we create an equation of P2 in the short arm? Please clarify these concerns. I have received the answer shown in the attached picture but it is not correct.arrow_forward
- When a .22-caliber rifle is fired, the expanding gas from the burning gunpowder creates a pressure behind the bullet. This pressure causes the force that pushes the bullet through the barrel. Suppose the barrel has a length of 0.699 m and an opening whose radius is 2.65 x 10³ m. A bullet (mass=2.6 x 10³ kg) has a speed of 428 m/s after passing through this barrel. Ignore friction and determine the average pressure of the expanding gas. Number i Unitsarrow_forwardA bicycle tire has an absolute pressure of 7.30x105 N/m² (~105.9 psi) at a temperature of 21.0°C and contains 2.10 L of gas. What will its pressure be if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 110 cm³ at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant. Submit Answer Tries 0/10arrow_forwardThe pressure in an automobile tire depends on the tem- perature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m³, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa.
