Question

A cryogenic vacuum pump works by condensing vapors onto some absorbent medium. This is an efficient and clean way to pump a system in a research environment. The term cryo means cold, which indicates that these types of vacuum pumps contain a refrigerant cycle to cool the internal parts. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of a typical cryogenic pump is Δ=303 ∘C . Derive an expression to convert this difference into Fahrenheit and express the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:  Temperature in Fahrenheit is 577.4

Explanation:

The conversion factor for converting celcius to Fahrenheit is:

$F=\frac{9}{5}\times C+32$

where F = temperature in Fahrenheit

C = Temperature in Celcius

Given : Temperature difference in Celcius = $303^0C$

Putting in the values we get:

$F=\frac{9}{5}\times 303+32$

$F=577.4$

Thus the answer in Fahrenheit is 577.4
