An 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.)

Two 5-cm-diameter, 15-cm-long aluminum bars (k = 176 W/m·K) with ground surfaces are pressed against each other with a pressure of 20 atm. The bars are enclosed in an insulation sleeve and, thus, heat transfer from the lateral surfaces is negligible. If the top and bottom surfaces of the two-bar system are maintained at temperatures of 150°C and 20°C, respectively, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer along the cylinders under steady conditions and (b) the temperature drop at the interface.
Given that a homogenous material will have the same expansivity properties in every direction. Hence such an object changes its overall size upon heating, but not its shape., a) find the new diameter of a solid brass sphere of radius 0.9535 m when its temperature rises 200°C. b) If the sphere of a) were hollow instead, with inner diameter 0.8535 m, what would be the new inside diameter for the same temperature rise? (the coefficient of linear expansion for brass is 1.93 x 10^(-5)/°C)

A cylinder in a car engine takes V1 = 0.045 m3 of air into the chamber at 300 C and at 1 atm pressure. The piston then compresses the air to one-ninth (V1/9) of the original volume and to 20 times (20 P1 ). A. What would be the new temperature if the pressure was constant?
