Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 2 Temperature l Temperature: measure of the motion of the individual atoms and molecules in a gas, liquid, or solid. çrelated to average kinetic energy of constituents l High temperature: constituents are moving around energetically çIn a gas at high temperature the individual gas molecules are moving about independently at high speeds. çIn a solid at high temperature the individual atoms of the solid are vibrating energetically in place. l The converse is true for a "cold" object. çIn a gas at low temperature the individual gas molecules are moving about sluggishly. çThere is an absolute zero temperature at which the motions of atoms and molecules practically stop. l There is an absolute zero temperature at which the classical motions of atoms and molecules practically stop Animation

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 3 Heat l Solids, liquids or gases have internal energy çKinetic energy from random motion of molecules n translation, rotation, vibration çAt equilibrium, it is related to temperature l Heat: transfer of energy from one object to another as a result of their different temperatures l Thermal contact: energy can flow between objects T1T1 T2T2 U1U1 U2U2 >

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 5 Thermometers l A thermometer is a device that is used to measure the temperature of a system l Thermometers are based on the principle that some physical property of a system changes as the system’s temperature changes l These properties include: çThe volume of a liquid çThe dimensions of a solid çThe pressure of a gas at a constant volume çThe volume of a gas at a constant pressure çThe electric resistance of a conductor çThe color of an object l A temperature scale can be established on the basis of any of these physical properties

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 6 Thermometer, Liquid in Glass l A common type of thermometer is a liquid-in-glass l The material in the capillary tube expands as it is heated l The liquid is usually mercury or alcohol l A thermometer can be calibrated by placing it in contact with some natural systems that remain at constant temperature

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 7 Thermometer, Celsius Scale l A thermometer can be calibrated by placing it in contact with some natural systems that remain at constant temperature l Common systems involve water çA mixture of ice and water at atmospheric pressure »Called the ice point of water çA mixture of water and steam in equilibrium »Called the steam point of water Celsius Scale : l The ice point of water is defined to be 0 o C l The steam point of water is defined to be 100 o C

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 8 Constant Volume Gas Thermometer l The physical change exploited is the variation of pressure of a fixed volume gas as its temperature changes l The volume of the gas is kept constant by raising or lowering the reservoir B to keep the mercury level at A constant

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 9 Absolute Zero l The thermometer readings are virtually independent of the gas used l If the lines for various gases are extended, the pressure is always zero when the temperature is – o C l This temperature is called absolute zero l Absolute zero is used as the basis of the absolute temperature scale l The size of the degree on the absolute scale is the same as the size of the degree on the Celsius scale l To convert: T C = T –

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 10 Temperature scales l Three main scales 212 Farenheit 100 Celcius Kelvin Water boils Water freezes Absolute Zero

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 11 Some interesting facts l In 1724, Gabriel Fahrenheit made thermometers using mercury. The zero point of his scale is attained by mixing equal parts of water, ice, and salt. A second point was obtained when pure water froze (originally set at 30 o F), and a third (set at 96 o F) “when placing the thermometer in the mouth of a healthy man”. çOn that scale, water boiled at 212. çLater, Fahrenheit moved the freesing point of water to 32 (so that the scale had 180 increments). l In 1745, Carolus Linnaeus of Upsula, Sweden, described a scale in which the freezing point of water was zero, and the boiling point 100, making it a centigrade (one hundred steps) scale. Anders Celsius ( ) used the reverse scale in which 100 represented the freezing point and zero the boiling point of water, still, of course, with 100 degrees between the two defining points.

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 14 Bimetallic strip l A bimetallic strip is made of two ribbons of dissimilar metals bonded together. Assume that the strip is originally straight. As they are heated, the metal with the greater average coefficient of expansion (  2 ) expands more than the other, forcing the strip into an arc, with the outer radius having a greater circumference (as in the Fig). A compact spiral bimetallic strip is used in a home thermostat. Find the angle (  ) through which the free end of the strip turns when the temperature changes by 1°C for such bimetalic strip with the initial length L= 21.0 cm and the separation of the centers of the strips (  r = r 2 - r 1 = mm). The two metals are bronze and invar.  (  2 -  1 )L (dT/dr)  1.06 o

Physics 151: Lecture 37, Pg 21 Lecture 37: Problem 1 For a typical system, such as a mercury thermometer, why is it a good approximation to neglect the expansion of the shell ?  h =( V i /A) (  - 3  )  T  (for glass) <<  (for mercury), so (  -3  within 5%. A liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion  just fills a spherical shell of volume V i at a temperature of T i (see Fig. to the right). The shell is made of a material that has an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into an open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere. When the temperature increases by  T how high does the liquid rises in the capillary (  h ) ?
