[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

The magnetic field created by a dipole has a strength of approximately μ0/4πμ/r3, where r is the distance from the dipole and μ0is the "permeability of free space," equal to exactly 4π×10-7in SI units. (In the formula I'm neglecting the variation of field strength with angle, which is at most a factor of 2.) Consider a paramagnetic salt like iron ammonium alum, in which the magnetic moment μof each dipole is approximately one Bohr magneton 9×10-24J/T, with the dipoles separated by a distance of 1nm. Assume that the dipoles interact only via ordinary magnetic forces.

(a) Estimate the strength of the magnetic field at the location of a dipole, due to its neighboring dipoles. This is the effective field strength even when there is no externally applied field.

(b) If a magnetic cooling experiment using this material begins with an external field strength of 1T, by about what factor will the temperature decrease when the external field is turned off?

(c) Estimate the temperature at which the entropy of this material rises most steeply as a function of temperature, in the absence of an externally applied field.

(d) If the final temperature in a cooling experiment is significantly less than the temperature you found in part (c), the material ends up in a state where ∂S/∂Tis very small and therefore its heat capacity is very small. Explain why it would be impractical to try to reach such a low temperature with this material.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) As a result, the strength of the magnetic field at a dipole's location is determined by the dipoles neighboring is 2.7×10-3T.

b) As a result, the temperature drops by a factor of 370.

c) Thus, without an externally supplied field, the temperature at which this material's entropy grows most quickly as a function of temperature is1.0mK

d) As a result, attempting to achieve a very low temperature using this material would be impractical since heat leakage from the outside cannot be prevented, and a large heat capacity increases the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) - Step 1: To determine

The strength of the magnetic field at the location of a dipole, due to its neighboring dipoles.

02

Part (a) - Step 2: Explanation

GIVEN:

Magnetic field of a dipole has a strength μ04πμr3.A paramagnetic salt contains dipoles each having a magnetic moment of one Bohr magneton.

FORMULA:

Write the expression for a dipole's magnetic field.

B=μ0μ4πr3

Where ris the distance from dipole

μis the magnetic moment and

μ0is the magnetic permeability of free space.

03

Part (a) - Step 3: Calculation

CALCULATION:

To account for the differences in directions, multiply the number of neighbours by three.

Write the expression of the magnetic field at a dipole Bddue to three neighboring dipoles

Bd=3μ0μ4πr3…(1)

Substituteμ0=4π×10-7N/A2μ=9.0×10-24J/Tr=1.0×10-9min equation (1)Bd=34π×10-1N/A29.0×10-24J/T4π1.0×10-9m3=2.7×10-3T

Hence he strength of the magnetic field at a dipole's location is determined by the dipoles neighboring is2.7×10-3T

04

Part (b) - Step 4: To find

When the external field is turned off, the temperature drops by this factor.

05

Part (b) - Step 5: Explanation

GIVEN:

Magnetic field of a dipole has a strength μ04πμr3.Each dipole in a paramagnetic salt has a magnetic moment of one Bohr magneton. In a magnetic cooling experiment, the external magnetic field of the starting value1Tis turned off.

FORMULA:

Write the expression of the magnetization M

M=NμtanhμBkT

Here,Nis the number of dipoles,Tis temperature andkis Boltzmann constant.

As a result, when the external field is turned off, the magnetization remains constant.

BiTi=BiTi

Here,

the subscript idenotes the initial values and

the subscript fdenotes the final values.

Rearrange the above expression

TiTi=BiBt…(2)

CALCULATION :

Substitute Bi=1Tand Bf=2.7×10-3Tfor in expression (2)

TiTi=(IT)2.7×10-3T=370

Hence the temperature drops by a factor of 370

06

Part (c) - Step 6: To determine

The temperature at which this material's entropy rises most steeply as a function of temperature without the application of an external field.

07

Part (c) - Step 7: Explanation

GIVEN:

Magnetic field of a dipole has a strengthμ04πμr3.A paramagnetic salt contains dipoles each having a magnetic moment of one Bohr magneton.

FORMULA:

Write the expression of the entropy-temperature formula

SNK=ln2cosh1x-1xtanh1x

Here, Sis entropy,

Kis a constant and

xstands for kTμB.

From the above expression, write the temperature expression Tsat which the entropy-temperature curve is the steepest.

Ts=μBxk…(3)

CALCULATION:

Substituteμ=9.0×10-24J/T,B=2.7×10-3T,x=0.6k=1.38×10-23J/Kin expression (3)

Ts=9.0×10-24J/T2.7×10-3T(0.6)1.38×10-23J/K=1.0mK

Hence without an externally supplied field, the temperature at which this material's entropy grows most quickly as a function of temperature is 1.0mKTs=9.0×10-24J/T2.7×10-3T(0.6)1.38×10-23J/K=1.0mK

08

Part (d) - Step 8: To find

Reasons why trying to obtain a very low temperature with this material would be impractical

09

Part (d) - Step 9: Explanation

The cooling operations are focused on the portion of the entropy-temperature curve that has the maximum slope at low magnetic fields.

Write the expression of the heat capacity cVat constant volume

cV=T∂S∂T

Since the heat capacity at constant volume is proportional to the slope of the entropy-temperature curve, it is largest where the curve is steepest. For a high heat capacity, a great amount of heat is necessary to change the temperature noticeably.

It is not practical to reach a temperature lower than1.0mK because heat leaking from the outside cannot be entirely avoided.

Explain why a rectangular P V cycle, as considered in Problems 1.34 and 4.1, cannot be used (in reverse) for refrigeration.


Derive a formula for the efficiency of the Diesel cycle, in terms of the compression ratio V1/ V2and the cutoff ratio V3/ V2. Show that for a given compression ratio, the Diesel cycle is less efficient than the Otto cycle. Evaluate the theoretical efficiency of a Diesel engine with a compression ratio of 18 and a cutoff ratio of 2.

An apparent limit on the temperature achievable by laser cooling is reached when an atom's recoil energy from absorbing or emitting a single photon is comparable to its total kinetic energy. Make a rough estimate of this limiting temperature for rubidium atoms that are cooled using laser light with a wavelength of 780 nm.

In an absorption refrigerator, the energy driving the process is supplied not as work, but as heat from a gas flame. (Such refrigerators commonly use propane as fuel, and are used in locations where electricity is unavailable.* ) Let us define the following symbols, all taken to be positive by definition:
Qf= heat input from flame
Qc= heat extracted from inside refrigerator
Qr= waste heat expelled to room
Tf= temperature of flame
Tc= temperature inside refrigerator
Tr= room temperature

(a) Explain why the "coefficient of performance" (COP) for an absorption refrigerator should be defined as Qc / Qf.
(b) What relation among Qf, Qc, and Qr is implied by energy conservation alone? Will energy conservation permit the COP to be greater than 1 ?
(c) Use the second law of thermodynamics to derive an upper limit on the COP, in terms of the temperatures Tf, Tc, and Tr alone.

The ingenious Stirling engine is a true heat engine that absorbs heat from an external source. The working substance can be air or any other gas. The engine consists of two cylinders with pistons, one in thermal contact with each reservoir (see Figure 4.7). The pistons are connected to a crankshaft in a complicated way that we'll ignore and let the engineers worry about. Between the two cylinders is a passageway where the gas flows past a regenerator: a temporary heat reservoir, typically made of wire mesh, whose temperature varies

gradually from the hot side to the cold side. The heat capacity of the regenerator is very large, so its temperature is affected very little by the gas flowing past. The four steps of the engine's (idealized) cycle are as follows:
i. Power stroke. While in the hot cylinder at temperature Th, the gas absorbs heat and expands isothermally, pushing the hot piston outward. The piston in the cold cylinder remains at rest, all the way inward as shown in the figure.
ii. Transfer to the cold cylinder. The hot piston moves in while the cold piston moves out, transferring the gas to the cold cylinder at constant volume. While on its way, the gas flows past the regenerator, giving up heat and cooling to Tc.
iii. Compression stroke. The cold piston moves in, isothermally compressing the gas back to its original volume as the gas gives up heat to the cold reservoir. The hot piston remains at rest, all the way in.
iv. Transfer to hot cylinder. The cold piston moves the rest of the way in while the hot piston moves out, transferring the gas back to the hot cylinder at constant volume. While on its way, the gas flows past the regenerator, absorbing heat until it is again at Th.

(a) Draw a PV diagram for this idealized Stirling cycle.
(b) Forget about the regenerator for the moment. Then, during step 2, the gas will give up heat to the cold reservoir instead of to the regenerator; during step 4 , the gas will absorb heat from the hot reservoir. Calculate the efficiency of the engine in this case, assuming that the gas is ideal. Express your answer in terms of the temperature ratio Tc / Th and the compression ratio (the ratio of the maximum and minimum volumes). Show that the efficiency is less than that of a Carnot engine operating between the same temperatures. Work out a numerical example.
(c) Now put the regenerator back. Argue that, if it works perfectly, the efficiency of a Stirling engine is the same as that of a Carnot engine.
(d) Discuss, in some detail, the various advantages and disadvantages of a Stirling engine, compared to other engines.
