15.4 Example 4

At 24 C the volume of a recipient of copper is 1 Liter (coefficient of volumetric expansion 51E-6 1/K). What will be its volume, in liters, at 110 C?

Solution with FisicaLab

Select the Thermodynamics group and, inside this, the Calorimetry and gases module. Erase the content of the chalkboard. And add one element Volumetric expansion as show the image below:

To this element, we have:

k

51E-6

Vi

1 @ L

Vf

Vf  L

Ti

24 @ C

Tf

110 @ C

Now click in the icon Solve to get the answer:

Vf = 1.004 L ;
Status = success.
