A new alloy has a density of 7380 kg/m3. Its specific heat has not yet been measured. The same new alloy of the last exercise has a melting point of 1540 K. Its thermal expansion coefï¬cient has not yet been measured. How would you make an approximate estimate of its value? What value would you then report?

Answer:

The value of specific heat is [tex]271[/tex] [tex]\frac{J}{Kg.K}[/tex] and coefficient of thermal expansion is [tex]1.29\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Density of alloy [tex]\rho = 7380[/tex] [tex]\frac{kg}{m^{3} }[/tex]

For finding the specific heat of alloy we use formula of specific heat in case of solid material,

   [tex]\rho C_{p} = 2 \times 10^{6}[/tex] [tex]\frac{J}{m^{3}. K }[/tex]

Where [tex]\rho =[/tex] density of alloy,

  [tex]C_{p} = \frac{2 \times 10^{6} }{7380}[/tex]

  [tex]C_{p}= 271[/tex] [tex]\frac{J}{Kg.K}[/tex]

For finding the coefficient of thermal expansion,

   [tex]\alpha T = 0.02[/tex]

Where [tex]\alpha =[/tex] coefficient of thermal expansion

    [tex]\alpha = \frac{0.02}{1540}[/tex]

    [tex]\alpha = 1.29 \times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of specific heat is [tex]271[/tex] [tex]\frac{J}{Kg.K}[/tex] and coefficient of thermal expansion is [tex]1.29\times 10^{-5}[/tex]
