- The law of a confined ideal gas is P V = k T, where P is pressure, V is the volume, T (in Celsius) is the temperature and k > 0 is the constant. The gas is being heated at a rate of 2ºC/min and the pressure increases at a rate of 0.5 kgf/cm. minute. if in At a certain moment, the temperature is 200 degrees and the pressure is 10 kgf/cm2 , find the rate at which the volume changes for k = 8 answer:the volume describes the rate of 32/5 cm³/minarrow_forwardIf two thermometers, one reading in oC and the other on K, are inserted in the same system, under the circumstances will they both have the same numerical reading?

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
- Using a numerical integration method such as Simpson's rule, find the fraction of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at a temperature of 250 K that have speeds between 100 m/s and 150 m/s.

A precision to two significant digits is enough.arrow_forwardThe maximum flow rate of standard shower heads is about 3.5 gpm (13.3 L/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 L/min) by switching to low-flow shower heads that are equipped with flow controllers. Consider a family of four, with each person taking a 5-min shower every morning. City water at 15°C is heated to 55°C in an electric water heater and tempered to 42°C by cold water at the T-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower heads. Assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kg·°C for water, determine (a) the ratio of the flow rates of the hot and cold water as they enter the T-elbow and (b) the amount of electricity that will be saved per year, in kWh, by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones.arrow_forwardIn an experiment, the temperature of a hot gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple with a spherical junction. Due to the nature of this experiment, the response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference must be within 5 s.
