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.
Calculate the change in the entropies of the system and the surroundings, and the total change in entropy, when the volume of a sample of argon gas of mass 21 g at 298 K and 1.50 bar increases from 1.20 dm3 to 4.60 dm3 in (a) an isothermal reversible expansion, (b) an isothermal irreversible expansion against pex = 0, and (c) an adiabatic reversible expansion.
Which one has a higher coeffiecient of thermal expansion? High purity fused silica or Pyrex glass (borosilicate)?
