Correct question is;
A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).
Answer:
ΔT = 268.67K
Explanation:
We are given;
d1 = 8mm
d2 = 1mm
At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.
Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,
Using the combined gas law, we have;
P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2
The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah
Thus;
V1 = (πd1²/4)h
V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h
Thus;
(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2
π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;
d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2
T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²
T2 = (1² × T1)/8²
T2 = 273/64
T2 = 4.23K
Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 273 - 4.23
ΔT = 268.67K
Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K
A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.
Conserve natural resources, energy and landfill space.
Answer:
because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.
Explanation:
the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.
