A particular device needs to be made that will experience a change in temperature of 100 °C. Two materials are being considered: copper (α = 1.7*10-5 °C-1) and steel (α = 1.3*10-5 °C-1). If made of copper, the device would be 2 m in length. If made of steel, the device would be 2.615 m in length. Which device would experience more thermal expansion?

The 40mm diameter steel rod AB shown in Figure 2 is resting on frictionless rollers between two steel plates. End A is just touching the left hand steel plate. 2. Steel plate | A B Steel plate 1500mm Imm Figure 2 There is a gap of 1mm between the end B and the right hand side steel plate. The temperature of the rod increases by an amount AT and this increase in temperature causes the two ends of the rod to press against the steel plates. This action causes the right hand steel plate to move to the right by 0.5mm while the left hand plate does not move. The Young's modulus value for steel is 210,000N/mm?. Taking any assumptions that you deem necessary calculate the increase in temperature AT required to cause the rod to buckle.

An electric heater producing 260 W of heat is used to warm up a room containing 7 m3 of air. If we assume the room is perfectly sealed and there is no heat loss through the room boundaries, such that all of the heater output goes into increasing the air temperature, how long will it take to heat up the air in the room from 5.0 °C to 24.1 °C? Give your answer to the nearest minute and assume that the specific volume (v = 0.85 m3/kg) and specific heat capacity at constant volume (cv = 1.005 kJ/(kg K)) remain constant throughout the heating process.
