A geiger-muller tube is a type of
gas-filled radiation detector. It can
detect particles like X-rays, alpha
particles and beta rays (electrons).
This is useful in quantizing the
activity of a radioactive source or
determining if an area containing
radioactive material is safe to
enter. Assuming that you have
one mole of gas, if a geiger
counter is filled with 9502 Pa of
argon gas at room temperature (T
= 21.1 C), what is the density of
the gas in this geiger tube?

This heat transfer causes a rapid increase in temperature if the cooling system fails (1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s and 1 MW = 1 megawatt).

(b) How long would it take to obtain a temperature increase of 2000 C, which could cause some metals holding the radioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate of temperature increase would be greater than that calculated here because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smaller mass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slow down because the 500,000-kg steel containment vessel would also begin to heat up.)arrow_forward
