Chapter 1: Q. 1.30 (page 20)

Put a few spoonfuls of water into a bottle with a tight lid. Make sure everything is at room temperature, measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure. Now close the bottle and shake it as hard as you can for several minutes. When you're exhausted and ready to drop, shake it for several minutes more. Then measure the temperature again. Make a rough calculation of the expected temperature change, and compare.


Short Answer

Expert verified

Temperature will change due to kinetic energy of molecules.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Few spoonfuls of water into a bottle with a tight lid.

02

Explanation

Temperature can't change (neither increased nor decreased) without any external factors (heat supply or heat absorption) . Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the molecules.

When the bottle is kept in the room temperature, then its temperature will be say 25oC.

And when the bottle is shaken for couple of minutes, then its temperature is measured with thermometer. In this case, temperature will be increased due to the kinetic energy of molecules increases during shaking. This change in kinetic energy of molecule causes a change in temperature.

In Problem 1.16 you calculated the pressure of the earth鈥檚 atmosphere as a function of altitude, assuming constant temperature. Ordinarily, however, the temperature of the bottommost 10-15 km of the atmosphere (called the troposphere) decreases with increasing altitude, due to heating from the ground (which is warmed by sunlight). If the temperature gradient |dT/dz|exceeds a certain critical value, convection will occur: Warm, low-density air will rise, while cool, high-density air sinks. The decrease of pressure with altitude causes a rising air mass to expand adiabatically and thus to cool. The condition for convection to occur is that the rising air mass must remain warmer than the surrounding air despite this adiabatic cooling.

a. Show that when an ideal gas expands adiabatically, the temperature and pressure are related by the differential equation

dTdP=2f+2TP

b. Assume that dT/dzis just at the critical value for convection to begin so that the vertical forces on a convecting air mass are always approximately in balance. Use the result of Problem 1.16(b) to find a formula for dT/dzin this case. The result should be a constant, independent of temperature and pressure, which evaluates to approximately 鈥�10掳C/km. This fundamental meteorological quantity is known as the dry adiabatic lapse rate.

In analogy with the thermal conductivity, derive an approximate formula for the viscosity of an ideal gas in terms of its density, mean free path, and average thermal speed. Show explicitly that the viscosity is independent of pressure and proportional to the square root of the temperature. Evaluate your formula numerically for air at room temperature and compare to the experimental value quoted in the text.

Make a rough estimate of the thermal conductivity of helium at room temperature. Discuss your result, explaining why it differs from the value for air.

When spring finally arrives in the mountains, the snow pack may be two meters deep, composed 50%of ice and 50%of air. Direct sunlight provides about 1000watts/m2to earth's surface, but the snow might reflect 90%of this energy. Estimate how many weeks the snow pack should last, if direct solar radiation is the only source of energy.
