Chapter 3: Q3DQ (page 573)

Many automobile engines have cast-iron cylinders and aluminium pistons. What kinds of problems could occur if the engine gets too hot? (The coefficient of volume expansion of cast iron is approximately the same as that of steel.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The friction between the piston and the cast iron will prevent the piston move freely inside the Iron cast and would cause damage to the engine.

Step by step solution

01

Thermal Expansion

The formula of volume expansion due to thermal energy is未痴=V脳尾脳未罢.

02

Coefficients of expansion

For the same volume (V) and change in temperature (未痴), the change in volume (未罢)will depend upon the coefficient of expansion. Now, role="math" localid="1663819662423" 3.6脳10-5鈥�K-1and 尾AI=7.2脳10-5K-1.

Clearly aluminium has larger thermal expansion coefficient than steel and causes high heat capacity absorbed by the piston.

03

Problem faced by the automobile

The problem that the automobile will face is preventing the piston move freely inside the Iron cast and would cause damage for the engine due to friction between the piston and the cast iron.

Three moles of an ideal gas are taken around cycle acb shown in Fig. P19.42 . For this gas, Cp=29.1J/mol.K. Process ac is at constant pressure, process ba is at constant volume, and process cb is adiabatic. The temperatures of the gas in states a, c, and b are Ta=300K,Tc=492Kand Tb=600K. Calculate the total work for the cycle.

A blacksmith cools a 1.20 kg chunk of iron, initially at 650掳C,by trickling 15掳Cwater over it. All of the water boils away, and the iron ends up at 120掳C. How much water did the blacksmith trickle over the iron?

(a) In Fig. 19.7a, consider the closed loop 1鈫�3 鈫�2 鈫�4 鈫�1. This is a cyclic process in which the initial and final states are the same. Find the total work done by the system in this cyclic process, and show that it is equal to the area enclosed by the loop. (b) How is the work done for the process in part (a) related to the work done if the loop is traversed in the opposite direction, 1鈫�4鈫�2鈫�3鈫�1? Explain.

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

The coolant in an automobile radiator is kept at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressureT. Why is this desirable? The radiator cap will release coolant when the gauge pressure of the coolant reaches a certain value, typically or so. Why not just seal the system completely?
