Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5RQ
If an object is heated, the temperature of the object will increase. The thermal energy (Q) associated with a change in temperature (ΔT) is a function of the mass of the object (m) and the specific heat (C2). Specific heat is a material property, and values are available in literature. In an experiment, heat is applied to the end of an object, and the temperature change at the other end of the object recorded. An unknown material is tested in the lab, yielding the following results.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. If the material was titanium, what mass of sample was tested?
- c. If a 4-gram sample was used which of the following materials was tested?

The heat transfer conducted through material is calculated from the equation:
Q = KX AXTD/L
Where K: Conductivity of material
A: Area of heat transfer
TD: Temperature difference across material
L: Thickness of material
A student measures the area, thickness and temperature difference and assumes that the error in conductivity is negligible. The
student also estimates the uncertainty range for each variable.
In estimating the maximum possible value of Q, the student should use the following formula:
A
B
Q max= K x A max x TD max / L max
Q max= K x A max x TD max / L nom
Q max= Q nominal + dQ/dLmin
Q max= K x A max x TD max / L min

- As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm.

A cylinder with an open bottom and calibrated volume is connected to the chamber and is closed with a movable piston. A gas pressure sensor is also mounted on the chamber as shown in the figure.

Doris moves the piston from mark 0 to mark 200 mL in steps of 50 mL and records the corresponding pressure in the chamber (see the table below). She moves the piston very slowly and waits several minutes before recording the pressure values.

These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment (surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual temperature values is allowed. Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested.
