A vertical glass tube of length L=1.280000″¾is half filled with a liquid at20.000000°C. How much will the height of the liquid column change when the tube and liquid are heated to30.000000°C? Use coefficientsαglass=1.000000×10−5Kandβliquid=4.000000×10−5/K.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Change in the height of the liquid column of the glass tube is1.3×10−4m

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Heighth=1.28″¾
  2. Initial heighth0=h/2=0.64″¾
  3. TemperatureΔT=T2−T1=30°−20°=10°C
  4. Coefficient of thermal expansionαglass=1×10−5/K
  5. Coefficient of liquidβliquid=4×10−5/K

Understanding the concept of thermal expansion

Consider a vertical glass tube filled with liquid at a particular temperature. If we heat the glass tube, the liquid inside the glass tube will change its height. In this case, the cross-section area expands according to how the glass expands on heating. This can be analyzed by considering the area. Also, the height of the glass tube can be calculated by taking the ratio of the volume of the liquid to the total area of the glass.

Formula:

Base area of the tube,A=Ï€r2 ,,,(i)

The height of the tube,h=VA …(¾±¾±)

The linear expansion of a body,ΔL=LαΔT …(¾±¾±¾±)

Whereα is the coefficient of linear expansion of body.

The volume change in expansion of a body,ΔV=V0βΔT …(¾±±¹)

Where, βis the volume expansion coefficient of body.

Calculation of change in the height of the liquid column

To calculate the height change in the glass tube, let the initial volume of the liquidbeV0 , the initial height be h0, and the initial cross section area be A0.

On differentiating the area equation (i), we get

dA=2Ï€°ùdr=2Ï€°ù(°ùαdT)(∵dr=°ùαdT,fromequation(iii))=2α(Ï€°ù2)dT=2α´¡dT(fromequation(i))

Therefore, the height from equations (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be given as:

h=V0+V0βliquidΔ°ÕA0+A02αglassΔ°Õ(V=V0+V0βliquidΔ°ÕandA=A0+A02αglassΔ°Õ)=V0(1+βliquidΔ°Õ)A0(1+2αglassΔ°Õ)=h01+βliquidΔ°Õ1+2αglassΔ°Õ−1(∵V0/A0=h0)=(0.64″¾)1+(4×10−5 /K)(10°C)1+2(1×10−5 /K)(10°C)−1(consideringthegivenquantities)=1.3×10−4m

Hence, the value of the height of the liquid column is1.3×10−4m
