- 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_forward(a) The inside of a hollow cylinder is maintained at a temperature Ta, and the outside is at a lower temperature, Tb (Fig. P19.45). The wall of the cylinder has a thermal conductivity k. Ignoring end effects, show that the rate of energy conduction from the inner surface to the outer surface in the radial direction is dQdt=2Lk[TaTbln(b/a)] Suggestions: The temperature gradient is dT/dr. 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. A heater must maintain the interior temperature at 25.0C while the outside temperature is 35.0C. What power must be supplied to the heater? Figure P19.45arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. 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
- The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.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 concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?arrow_forward
- The rectangular plate shown in Figure P16.60 has an area Ai equal to w. If the temperature increases by T, each dimension increases according to Equation 16.4, where is the average coefficient of linear expansion. (a) Show that the increase in area is A = 2Ai T. (b) What approximation does this expression assume?arrow_forwardA steel rod is initially 1 meter long at a temperature of 20°C. Assuming that the expansion is uniform along the entire length of the rod , if the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 11 x 10^-6 per degree Celsius, calculate: a) The change in length of the rod when its temperature is increased to 100°C. b) The final length of the rod at 100°C.arrow_forwardYour granny normally took a hot 2L hot water bottle (covered with a thin towel and at 50 degrees Celsius) with her to bed on a very cold winters night and it worked quite well. She however decided to replace the water bottle with a huge 2 kg piece of iron (also covered with a towel at 50 degrees Celsius). She only used the 2kg piece of iron for one day and decided to rather always use the hot water bottle throughout the cold winter. Use your knowledge of Physics to explain why granny only used the hot piece of iron for ONE day and went back to using the hot water bottle aferwards.arrow_forward
- Suppose due to a bad break of your femur, you require the insertion of a titanium rod to help the fracture heal. The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is α = 8.60 × 10−6 K−1, and the length of the rod when it is in equilibrium with the leg bone and muscle at 37.0°C is 6.50 cm. How much shorter was the rod at room temperature (20.0°C)?arrow_forwardIt’s possible to boil water by adding hot rocks to it, a technique that has been used in many societies over time. If you heat a rock in the fire, you can easily get it to a temperature of 500°C. If you use granite or other similar stones, the specific heat is about 800 J/kg ⋅ K. If 5.0 kg of water at 10°C is in a leak-proof vessel, what minimum number of 1.0 kg stones must be added to bring the water to a boil?arrow_forwardA container made of steel, which has a coefficient of linear expansion 11 x 10- (°C)-, has a volume of 55.0 gallons. The container is filled to the top with gasoline, which has a coefficient of volume expansion of 9.6 x 10-4 (°C)-, when the temperature is 10.0°C. If the temperature rises to 28.5°c, how much gasoline (in gal) will spill over the edge of the container? galarrow_forward
