A thought experiment (gas law and similar calculations are allowed, if desired):
1) Take a gas cylinder with an internal, transmitting thermometer and 1 bar of CO₂ and put it in a room at 20°C. What will the internal temperature be after one day?
1) Take a gas cylinder with an internal, transmitting thermometer and 1 bar of CO₂ and put it in a room at 20°C. What will the internal temperature be after one day?
2) Over a period of 1 minute fill the cylinder with CO₂ to 100 bar. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week?
3) Now place the cylinder into a vat of boiling water. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week?
4) Now place the cylinder back into the room at room temperature. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week?
5) Now place the cylinder into a replenishing Eskie of dry ice. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week?
6) Now place the cylinder back into the room at room temperature. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week?
7) Now evacuate the cylinder to 1 bar over the period of one minute. What will the internal temperature be immediately after? After 1 hour? After one day? After one week? Bonus points if you're monitoring the evacuated gas...
8) Repeat 1-7, replacing the CO₂ with O₂, and then repeat again with the CO₂ replaced by N₂.
