Problems
- If a substance of latent heat 50 melts in vacuum at 127°C and contracts 1/10 of its bulk while melting, at what temperature will it melt at 100 atmospheres?
Ans. 125.06°C
- Calculate the specific volume of the vapour of ethyl ether at its boiling point, given BP = 346°C at 1 atmosphere and density of liquid = 0.71 gm/cc, latent heat = 86 cal/gm, rate of increase of vapour pressure with temperature = 27 mm of mercury per°C.
Ans. 328 cc/gm
- Calculate the rate of increase of vapour pressure of water with temperature; given that boiling point = 100°C, latent heat of steam = 539.4 cal/gm, specific volume of saturated steam at 100°C = 1677 cc per gm and specific volume of water at 100°C = 1 cc per gm and J = 4.18 × 107 erg/cal.
Ans. 2.7 cm of ...
