Title: Chapter 17: Thermal Properties


1
A white-hot cube of a silica fiber insulation
material, which, only seconds after having been
removed from a hot furnace, can be held by its
edges with the bare hands. Initially, the heat
transfer from the surface is relatively rapid
however, the thermal conductivity of this
material is so small that heat conduction from
the interior maximum temperature approximately
1250C (2300F) is extremely slow. This material
was developed especially for the tiles that cover
the Space Shuttle Orbiters and protect and
insulate them during their fiery reentry into the
atmosphere. Other attractive features of this
high-temperature reusable surface insulation
(HRSI) include low density and a low coefficient
of thermal expansion.

Potential energy versus interatomic distance.
Interatomic separation increases with rising
temperature. With heating, the interatomic
separation increases from r0 to r1 to r2, and so
on.
For a symmetric potential energy-versus-interatomi
c distance curve, there is no increase in
interatomic separation with rising temperature
(i.e., r1 r2 r3).

Heat Capacity To what temperature would 10 lbm of
a brass specimen at 25C (77F) be raised if 65
Btu of heat is supplied? Solution We are asked
to determine the temperature to which 10 lbm of
brass initially at 25C would be raised if 65 Btu
of heat is supplied. This is accomplished by
utilization of a modified form of Equation 17.1 as
CdQ/dT c(1/m) dQ/dT
in which DQ is the amount of heat supplied, m is
the mass of the specimen, and cp is the specific
heat. From Table 17.1, cp 375 J/kg-K for
brass, which in Customary U.S. units is just

  • Briefly explain why Cv rises with increasing
    temperature at temperatures near 0 K.
  • Briefly explain why Cv becomes virtually
    independent of temperature at temperatures far
    removed from 0 K.
  • Solution
  • (a) Cv rises with increasing temperature at
    temperatures near 0 K because, in this
    temperature range, the allowed vibrational energy
    levels of the lattice waves are far apart
    relative to the available thermal energy, and
    only a portion of the lattice waves may be
    excited. As temperature increases, more of the
    lattice waves may be excited by the available
    thermal energy, and, hence, the ability of the
    solid to absorb energy (i.e., the magnitude of
    the heat capacity) increases.
  • (b) At temperatures far removed from 0 K, Cv
    becomes independent of temperature because all of
    the lattice waves have been excited and the
    energy required to produce an incremental
    temperature change is nearly constant.

Thermal Expansion A copper wire 15 m (49.2 ft)
long is cooled from 40 to 9C (104 to 15F).
How much change in length will it
experience? Solution In order to determine the
change in length of the copper wire, we must
employ a rearranged form of Equation 17.3b and
using the value of al taken from Table 17.1 17.0
? 10-6 (C)-1 as

Briefly explain why metals are typically better
thermal conductors than ceramic
materials. Solution Metals are typically
better thermal conductors than are ceramic
materials because, for metals, most of the heat
is transported by free electrons (of which there
are relatively large numbers). In ceramic
materials, the primary mode of thermal conduction
is via phonons, and phonons are more easily
scattered than are free electrons.
26
For some ceramic materials, why does the thermal
conductivity first decrease and then increase
with rising temperature? Solution For some
ceramic materials, the thermal conductivity first
decreases with rising temperature because the
scattering of lattice vibrations increases with
temperature. At higher temperatures, the thermal
conductivity will increase for some ceramics that
are porous because radiant heat transfer across
pores may become important, which process
increases with rising temperature.
27
For each of the following pairs of materials,
decide which has the larger thermal conductivity.
Justify your choices. (a) Fused silica
polycrystalline silica. (b) Atactic
polypropylene (
106 g/mol) isotactic polypropylene (
5 105 g/mol).
Solution (a) Polycrystalline silica will have
a larger conductivity than fused silica because
fused silica is noncrystalline and lattice
vibrations are more effectively scattered in
noncrystalline materials. (b) The isotactic
polypropylene will have a larger thermal
conductivity than the atactic polypropylene
because isotactic polymers have a higher degree
of crystallinity. Since heat transfer is
accomplished by molecular chain vibrations, and
the coordination of these vibrations increases
with percent crystallinity, the higher the
crystallinity, the greater the thermal
conductivity.
28
What measures may be taken to reduce the
likelihood of thermal shock of a ceramic
piece? Solution According to Equation 17.9,
the thermal shock resistance of a ceramic piece
may be enhanced by increasing the fracture
strength and thermal conductivity, and by
decreasing the elastic modulus and linear
coefficient of thermal expansion. Of these
parameters, sf and al are most amenable to
alteration, usually be changing the composition
and/or the microstructure.
