A brass lid screws tightly onto a glass jar at 15°C. To helpopen the jar, it can be placed into a bath of hot water.After this treatment, the temperatures of the lid and thejar are both 55°C. The inside diameter of the lid is 8.0 cm.Find the size of the gap (difference in radius) that developsby this procedure.
A bimetallic strip with thickness x is originally straight at temperature T. When
it is heated to temperature T + AT, it bends and forms a curve with radius of
curvature R. Given the coefficients of linear expansion of the two metals are a,
and a2, respectively, with a, > a,, Find R. Assume that the two metals have
equal thickness and R » x.
Thick fluids such as asphalt and waxes and thepipes in which they flow are often heated in order to reducethe viscosity of the fluids and thus to reduce the pumpingcosts. Consider the flow of such a fluid through a100-m-long pipe of outer diameter 30 cm in calm ambientair at 0°C. The pipe is heated electrically, and a thermostatkeeps the outer surface temperature of the pipe constant at25°C. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.8,and the effective sky temperature is -30°C. Determine thepower rating of the electric resistance heater, in kW, thatneeds to be used. Also, determine the cost of electricityassociated with heating the pipe during a 10-h period underthe above conditions if the price of electricity is $0.09/kWh.
