Homework Statement
A certain metal whose thermal expansion coefficient [tex]\beta[/tex] is 5,0 × 10^-5 °C^-1 and whose isothermal compressibility [tex]\kappa_T[/tex] is 1,2 × 10^-6 atm^-1 is at an initial pressure of 1 atm and an initial temperature of 20°C. A thick layer of Invar is thermally insulating the system. The Invar's coefficients are not to be taken into consideration.
a) What would be the final pressure if the temperature raised to 32°C?
b) If the layer could resist to a pressure up to 1200 atm, what would be the highest possible temperature achievable?
Homework Equations
[tex]\kappa_T = \frac{-1}{V} (\frac{\partial V}{\partial P})_T [/tex][tex]\beta = \frac{1}{V} (\frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
We know from the statement that:
[tex]\kappa_T = \frac{-1}{V} (\frac{\partial V}{\partial P})_T = 1,2 \times 10^{-6}[/tex]
[tex]\beta = \frac{1}{V} (\frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P = 5,0 \times 10^{-5}[/tex]
a)
Working out both expressions to a common equation gives us
[tex]- 1,2 \times 10^{-6} dP = \frac{dV}{V} [/tex]
[tex]5,0 \times 10^{-5} dT = \frac{dV}{V} [/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]- 1,2 \times 10^{-6} dP = 5,0 \times 10^{-5} dT [/tex]
Integrating,
[tex] - 1,2 \times 10^{-6} \int_{P_i}^{P_f}\ dP = 5,0 \times 10^{-5} \int_{T_i}^{T_f}\ dT [/tex]
[tex] - 1,2 \times 10^{-6} (P_f - 1) = 5,0 \times 10^{-5} (32 - 20) [/tex]
[tex]P_f = 1 - 500 = -499\ atm [/tex]
Is this correct? A negative pressure?
b)
[tex]- 1,2 \times 10^{-6} (1200 - 1) = 5,0 \times 10^{-5} (T_f - 20) [/tex]
[tex]T_f = -8.776\ degrees\ Celsius[/tex]
So what am I doing wrong here?______________________________
EDIT: Is it possible that [tex]\kappa_T = - 1,2 \times 10^{-6} [/tex] instead of [tex]+ 1,2 \times 10^{-6} [/tex] ?
That would work out, it seems.
