Get started for freeThe gas cylinder in Figure Q19.10 is well insulated except for the bottom surface, which is in contact with a block of ice.
The piston can slide without friction. The initial gas temperature is
a. During the process that occurs until
the gas reaches a new equilibrium, are
(i) , (ii) W, and (iii) Q greater than, less than, or equal to zero? Explain.
b. Draw a pV diagram showing the process.
The volume of a gas is halved during an adiabatic compression that increases the pressure by a factor of 2.5.
a. What is the specific heat ratio g?
b. By what factor does the temperature increase?
55. An diameter, well-insulated vertical cylinder containing nitrogen gas is sealed at the top by a frictionless piston. The air pressure above the piston is
a. What is the gas pressure inside the cylinder?
b. Initially, the piston height above the bottom of the cylinder is . What will be the piston height if an additional are placed on top of the piston?
Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 20-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top. If the bodyโs surface temperature is 35ยฐC, what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 5ยฐC day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.
Two cars collide head-on while each is traveling at 80 km/h.
Suppose all their kinetic energy is transformed into the thermal
energy of the wrecks. What is the temperature increase of each
car? You can assume that each carโs specific heat is that of iron.
