Problem3 A metallic sphere (initial radius ro, density ps) is suspended above a cylindrical tank already containing the same metal in liquid state (density pi). The tank's diameter is D and the initial level of the liquid metal in the tank is ho. The sphere is melting slowly, and its diameter is decreasing at a constant rate a(m/s). Determine: (a) the expression for the variation of the sphere's radius with time, (b) the expression for the increase with time of the level of the liquid metal in the tank resulting from the melting sphere, (c) the final height of the liquid metal in the tank once the sphere is completely melted. Check your answer by a global mass balance.

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)

1. The boiling temperature of water is 100 °C. If you put boiling water in a mugplaced at the table top, you observed that after some time the water cools down,decreasing the temperature of water in the mug. Why is this so? Explain using theZeroth Law of Thermodynamics. What happens to objects when temperature increases? For instance, a jar cover an be removed by putting the cover in hot water. Why is this so?

Consider a thin-walled, ﬁ xed-volume container of volume V that holds an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It can be shown by dimensional analysis that the number of particles striking the walls of the container per unit area per unit time is given by nv-/4, where as usual n is the particle number density. The container has a small hole of area A in its surface through which the gas can leak slowly. Assume that A is much less than the surface area of the container. (a) Assuming that the pressure inside the container is much greater than the outside pressure (so that no gas will leak from the outside back in), estimate the time it will take for the pressure inside to drop to half the initial value. Your answer should contain A, V, and the mean molecular speed v-. (b) Obtain a numerical result for a spherical container with a diameter of 40 cm containing air at 293 K, if there is a circular hole of diameter 1.0 mm in the surface.
