Question: For air near 0 0C, by how much does the speed of sound increase for each increase in air temperature by 1 0C? (Hint: See Problem 91)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The speed of sound increases by 0.61m/s , for each degree increase in temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

The temperature T=0°C=273K.

  1. The increase in the temperature is ∆T=1K.
02

Determining the concept

By differentiating the equation of speed of sound in air with respect to temperature, from problem 19-91, find the speed of sound increase for each increase in air temperature by 1 0C.

From problem 19-91, the speed of sound in air is,

vs=γRTM…………………………………….1

where,γ=Cp/CV , R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, vis velocity and M is the molar mass.

03

Determining the speed of sound increase for each increase in air temperature by  1 0C

Differentiating Eq. (1) with respect to T,

dvsdT=12γRMT-12dvsdT=12TγRTM

From Eq. (1),

dvsdT=vs2T

Therefore,

dvs=dT2Tvs

Therefore, sound’s speed is changed by-,

∆vs=∆T2Tvs

At ,T=0°C=273K the speeds of the sound is vs=331m/s. With∆T=1

For the given values the above equation becomes.

Δvs=1K2×273K×331m/s=0.606m/s=0.61m/s

Hence, the speed of sound increases for each increase in air temperature by 1 0CisΔvs=0.61m/s.

The normal airflow over the rocky mountains is west to east. The air loses much of its moisture content and is chilled as it climbes the western side of the mountains. When it descends on the eastern side, the increase in pressure toward lower altitudes causes the temperature to increase. The flow, then called a Chinook wind, can rapidly raise the air temperature at the base of the mountains. Assume that the air pressure p depends on altitude y according top=p0exp(-ay),wherep0=1.00 atmanda=1.16×10-4m-1. Also assume that the ratio of the molar specific heats isγ=4/3. A parcel of air with an initial temperature of-5.00°Cdescends adiabatically fromy1=4267 mtoy=1567 m

What is its temperature at the end of the descent?

A certain amount of energy is to be transferred as heat to 1 mol of a monatomic gas (a) at constant pressure and (b) at constant volume, and to 1 mol of a diatomic gas (c) at constant pressure and (d) at constant volume. Figure 19-19 shows four paths from an initial point to four final points on a p-v diagram for the two gases. Which path goes with which process? (e) Are the molecules of the diatomic gas rotating?

Suppose 12.0gof oxygen (O2) gas is heated at constant atmospheric pressure from25.0∘Cto125.0∘Cto.

  1. How many moles of oxygen are present?
  2. How much energy is transferred to the oxygen as heat? (The molecules rotate but do not oscillate).
  3. What fraction of heat is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen?

For adiabatic processes in an ideal gas, show that (a) the bulk modulus is given bywhere(See Eq. 17-2.) (b) Then show that the speed of sound in the gas isvs=γ±èÒÏ=γ¸é°ÕM,where is the density, T is the temperature, and M is the molar mass. (See Eq. 17-3.)

The temperature ofof3.00 molan ideal diatomic gas is increased by 40.0°Cwithout the pressure of the gas changing. The molecules in the gas rotate but do not oscillate.

a) How much energy is transferred to the gas as heat?

b) What is the change in the internal energy of the gas?

c) How much work is done by the gas?

d) By how much does the rotational kinetic energy of the gas increase?
