Chapter 3: Q100P (page 580)

One experimental method of measuring an insulating material鈥檚 thermal conductivity is to construct a box of the material and measure the power input to an electric heater inside the box that maintains the interior at a measured temperature above the outside surface. Suppose that in such an apparatus a power input of 180Wis required to keep the interior surface of the box(about120F掳) above the temperature of the outer surface. The total area of the box is2.18m2, and the wall thickness is 3.90cm. Find the thermal conductivity of the material in SI units.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The thermal conductivity of the material in SI units is0.05W/m.K.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the heat current

The heat current in conduction is,

H=dQdt=kATH-TcL

Here, k is the thermal conductivity of rod material, A is the cross-sectional area of the rod, and TH-TCLis the temperature difference per unit length, called temperature gradient.

02

Calculation of the thermal conductivity of the material in SI units

Given that the change in temperature is TH-Tc=65C掳, the power is H = 180W , the cross-sectional area of the box isA=2.18m2, and the thickness of the box is.

L=3.9脳10-2m

The thermal conductivity of the material from the heat current in conduction is,

k=HLATH-Tc

Substitute all the known values in the above equation to find the thermal conductivity.

k=180W脳3.9脳10-2m2.18m2脳65掳C=0.05W/m.C掳=0.05W/m.K

Hence, the thermal conductivity of the material in SI units is 0.05W/m.K.

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.250 mol of oxygen at 2.40 * 105 Pa and 355 K. The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. It is then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, and finally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure. (a) Show the series of processes on a pV-diagram. Compute (b) the temperature during the isothermal compression; (c) the maximum pressure; (d) the total work done by the piston on the gas during the series of processes.

Work Done by the Lungs. The graph in Fig. E19.4 shows a pV-diagram of the air in a human lung when a person is inhaling and then exhaling a deep breath. Such graphs, obtained in clinical practice, are normally somewhat curved, but we have modelled one as a set of straight lines of the same general shape. (Important: The pressure shown is the gauge pressure, not the absolute pressure.) (a) How many joules of net work does this person鈥檚 lung do during one complete breath? (b) The process illustrated here is somewhat different from those we have been studying, because the pressure change is due to changes in the amount of gas in the lung, not to temperature changes. (Think of your own breathing. Your lungs do not expand because they鈥檝e gotten hot.) If the temperature of the air in the lung remains a reasonable 20掳C, what is the maximum number of moles in this person鈥檚 lung during a breath

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.150 mol of nitrogen at 1.80 * 105 Pa and 300 K. The nitrogen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas is first compressed isobarically to half its original volume. It then expands adiabatically back to its original volume, and finally it is heated isochorically to its original pressure. (a) Show the series of processes in a pV-diagram. (b) Compute the temperatures at the beginning and end of the adiabatic expansion. (c) Compute the minimum p

A container with volume 1.64 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226g of N2. Assume that the pressure of the gas is low enough for the gas to obey the ideal-gas law to a high degree of accuracy. If the root-mean-square speed of the gas molecules is 182 m/s, what is the pressure of the gas?

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?
