To ensure a tight fit, the aluminum rivet used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by dry ice (solid CO2) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 0.500 cm, what should be the diameter of a rive at 20 degree Celsius if its diameter is equal that of a hole when the rivet is cooled to -78 degree Celsius, the temperature of dry ice? Assume the coefficient of expansion to remain constant. (Given and solutions)
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. Such a radiator, made of copper, is filled to its 12-L capacity when at 10.0°C. -What volume of radiator fluid, in liters, will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 99.5°C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s thermal coefficient of volume expansion is 400.0 × 10-6 / °C? The coefficient of volume expansion for copper is 5.1 × 10-5 /°C.

A gasoline engine is at a location where the temperature is measured to be 14.2 °C and produces 347 KW at 5800 rpm while consuming 0.0184 kg's of fuel. During operation, data shows that its mechanical energy loss is 18 %, the actual volume of air going into each cylinder is 80% (the volumetric efficiency has a negligible variation), and the actual fuel-to-air ratio is 0.065. What were the engine parameters at sea level conditions if the pressure here is 100.3 kPa and the temeratur here is 18 Uc hotter than that of the alevated conditions?

A chromel–constantan thermocouple measuring the temperature of a fluid is connected by mistake with copper–constantan extension leads (such that the two constantan wires are connected together and the copper extension lead wire is connected to the chromel thermocouple wire). If the fluid temperature was actually 250 C and the junction between the thermocouple and extension leads was at 90 C, what e.m.f. would be measured at the open ends of the extension leads if the reference junction is maintained at 0 C? What fluid temperature would be deduced from this (assuming that the connection error was not known)?
