You’re the product safety officer for a company that makes cycling accessories. You’re given a new design for a bicycle pump that includes a cylinder 32 cm long when the pump handle is all the way out. To keep the pump from getting too hot, you specify that the temperature rise should not exceed 75°C when the handle is pushed rapidly, with the outlet blocked, until the internal length of the cylinder is 16 cm. Assuming air initially at 18°C, does the pump meet your temperature-rise criterion?

- An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardFor a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardTwo 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.arrow_forward
- A 1.0 m * 1.5 m double-pane window consists of two 4-mm-thick layers of glass (k = 0.78 W/m·K) that are separated by a 5-mm air gap (kair = 0.025 W/m·K). The heat flow through the air gap is assumed to be by conduction. The inside and outside air temperatures are 20°C and 220°C, respectively, and the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 40 and 20 W/m2·K. Determine (a) the daily rate of heat loss through the window in steady operation and (b) the temperature difference across the largest thermal resistance.arrow_forwardAn automobile wheel contains air with a pressure of 3x10 Pa at 25 C. The sipop cover was removed and the air was allowed to expand adiabatically against an external pressure of 10 Pa. What is the final temperature of the gas in the wheel? (It should be taken into account that the gas behaves ideally and the Cp value for air is 7/2R)arrow_forwardA certain molecule has f degrees of freedom. Show that an ideal gas consisting of such molecules has the following properties: (a) its total internal energy is fnRT/2, (b) its molar specific heat at constant volume is fR/2, (c) its molar specific heat at constant pressure is (f + 2)R/2, and (d) its specific heat ratio is γ = CP/CV = (f + 2)/f.arrow_forward
- A cylinder contains 0.100 mol of an ideal monoatomic gas. Initially, the gas is at a pressure of 1.00 x 10^5 Pa and occupies a volume of 2.50 x 10^-3 cubic meter. If the gas is allowed to expand to twice the initial volume, what is the final temperature if the expansion is adiabatic?

- A brass ring of diameter 10.00 cm at 20.00C is heated and slipped over an aluminum rod of diameter 10.01 cm at 20.00C. Assuming the average coefficients of thermal expansion are constant for brass and aluminum, (a) to what temperature must this combination be cooled to separate them? Is this attainable? (b) What if the aluminum rod is 10.02 cm in diameterarrow_forwardA large freshwater fish has a swim bladder with a volume of 5.0×10−4 m3 . The fish descends from a depth where the absolute pressure is 3.0 atm to deeper water where the swim bladder is compressed to 60% of its initial volume. As the fish descends, the gas pressure in the swim bladder is always equal to the water pressure, and the temperature of the gas remains at the internal temperature of the fish's body. To adapt to its new location, the fish must add gas to reinflate its swim bladder to the original volume. This takes energy to accomplish. Part A What's the minimum amount of work required to expand the swim bladder back to its original volume? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardAn automobile wheel contains air with a pressure of 3x105 Pa at 25°C.
