    The document contains 20 questions about thermodynamics, heat transfer, and temperature measurement. It tests concepts such as calculating pressure and volume changes during gas compression and expansion, determining heat required for phase changes, converting between temperature scales, and interpreting readings from common temperature measurement devices like liquid-in-glass thermometers, thermistors, and thermocouples. The questions provide temperature and measurement values to calculate corresponding values on different scales or for related thermodynamic quantities.

    1. A bicycle pump contains 50 cm3 of air at 17ºC and at 1.0 atmosphere pressure. Find the
    pressure when the air is compressed to 10 cm3 and its temperature rises to 27ºC!

    2. A bicycle pump contains 400 cm3 of air at atmospheric pressure (remember that
    atmospheric pressure = 100kPa). If the air is compressed slowly, what is the pressure when
    the volume of the air is compressed to 400 cm3?

    3. A cylinder contains 50 cm3 of air at a pressure of 120 kPa. What will its volume be if the
    pressure on it is increased to 400 kPa?

    4. A tank holding 60 kg of water is heated by a 3 kW electric immersion heater. If the specific


    heat capacity of water is 4200 J/(kg ºC), estimate the time for the temperature to rise from
    10 ºC to 60 ºC!

    5. A gas X expands linearly with temperature change. If the volume is 20 cm 3 when

    7. A woman finds the front windshield of her car covered with ice at −12°C. The ice has a
    thickness of 4.50 × 10 m, and the windshield has an area of 1.25 m 2. The density of ice is
    917 kg/m3. How much heat is required to melt the ice?

    temperature on the Kelvin scale?

    14. A liquid-in-glass thermometer has a mercury level of 3.0 cm at ice point and a mercury
    level of 8.0 cm at steam point. What is the distance between every 1°C division on the
    thermometer?

    15. A liquid-in-glass thermometer has a mercury level of 3.0 cm at ice point and a mercury

    cm?

    16. A liquid-in-glass thermometer has a mercury level of 2.0 cm at -5°C and a mercury level of
    5.0 cm at 120°C. What will be the mercury level when the temperature is at 90°C?

    17. A liquid-in-glass thermometer has a mercury level of 2.0 cm at -15°C and a mercury level
    of 5.0 cm at -5°C. What will be the temperature when the mercury is at 3.0 cm?

    18. Axel tried to use a thermistor as a thermometer. He found that when the temperature was
    200°C, the resistance of the thermometer was 250 Ω and when the temperature was 50°C,
    the resistance of the thermometer increased to 500 Ω. What would be the temperature when
    the resistance of the thermistor is 300 Ω?

    19. A thermocouple indicates 0.1 mV at ice point and 2.6 mV at 50°C. What will be the
    temperature when the thermocouple indicates 3.0 mV?
    20. A thermocouple indicates 0.1 mV at ice point and 2.6 mV at 50°C. What will the
    thermocouple indicate when the temperature is 580°C?
