Exemplo 13.5 de College Physics, 13.2 Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids
Problema e solução em inglês, como no livro original.
What pressure would be created in the gasoline tank considered in Example 13.4, if the gasoline increases in temperature from to without being allowed to expand? Assume that the bulk modulus for gasoline is . (For more on bulk modulus, see Elasticity: Stress and Strain.)
Resolva no papel primeiro. Depois abra a solução um passo de cada vez e pare assim que conseguir terminar sozinho.
To solve this problem, we must use the following equation, which relates a change in volume to pressure:
where is pressure, is the original volume, and is the bulk modulus of the material involved. We will use the amount spilled in Example 13.4 as the change in volume, .
1. Rearrange the equation for calculating pressure:
2. Insert the known values. The bulk modulus for gasoline is . In the previous example, the change in volume is the amount that would spill. Here, is the original volume of the gasoline. Substituting these values into the equation, we obtain
This pressure is about , much more than a gasoline tank can handle.
