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.)

When builders were constructing a sidewalk they forgot to include an expansion joint between two of the segments, L = 2.1 m at To = 20° C. Assume the opposite ends of each segment are fixed and the linear expansion coefficient is α = 11 × 10-6 °C-1. a.) As the day heats to Tb the segments press against each other and begin to raise the junction a distance h forming a triangle. What is the height (in meters) at Tb=110° F? b.) What should the gap have been, in units of meters, to prevent them from touching?
