The Bimetallic Strip
Each substance has its own characteristic coefficient of expansion.
For example, brass rod expands more than the steel rod because brass has a
larger coefficient of expansion than steel.
A simple device that uses this principle is a bimetallic strip.
A bimetallic strip is made from two thin strips of metal that have different
coefficients of linear expansion as shown in figure below

ESM 1224, SEMESTER 3, 2006/2007 CHAPTER 3
Figure shows: (a) A bimetallic strip and how it behaves when (b)
heated and (c) cooled
APPLICATION
Bimetallic strips are frequently used as adjustable automatic switches in
electrical appliances.
Refer figure below.
In part (a), the electricity passes through the heating coil that heat the water.
The electricity can flow because bimetallic strip touches the contact on the
strength adjustment knob, thus providing a continuous path of the electricity.
In part (b), when the bimetallic strip gets hot enough to bend away, the
contacts separate and the electricity stops because it is no longer has a
continuous path along which to flow and the brewing cycle is shut off.
NOTE:
Expansion of holes-Lets say we have a hole in piece of solid material. When
heated, the material will expand, but what about the hole??? The hole also
expands at the same rate and at the same direction (outwards)-refer to the
diagram.

3.5 Heat and Internal Energy
Heat is defined as the energy that flows from a higher temperature
object to a lower temperature object because of the difference in
temperatures. (Refer figure)
The SI unit is Joule , J
Heat is sometimes measured with a unit called the kilocalorie (kcal)
The conversion factor between kilocalories and joule is known as the
mechanical equivalent of heat:
1 kcal = 4186 joule or 1 cal = 4.186 joule
Internal energy of a substance is the sum of the kinetic energy (due to the
random motion of the molecules), the potential energy (due to forces that act
between the atoms of the molecule and between molecules) and other kinds
of energy that the molecules of the substance have.
Figure shows how heat as energy is transit from hot to cold.
(a) Heat flows from the hotter coffee to the colder hand.
(b) Heat flows from the warmer hand to the colder glass of ice water.

3.6 Heat and Temperature Change: Specific Heat Capacity
Solids and Liquids
Greater amounts of heat are needed to raise the temperature of solids or
liquids to higher values
Similar concepts apply when the temperature is lowered, except that heat
must be removed.
The heat, Q that must be applied or removed to change the temperature of a
substance of mass, m by an amount T is
T mc Q
where c is the specific heat capacity of the substance.
Unit for specific heat capacity: J / (kg C)
Calorimetry
To determine the specific heat of a solid or liquid, we conduct the following
steps:
i. raise the temperature of the substance to some value
ii. place it in a vessel containing cold water of known mass and
temperature
iii. measure the temperature of the combination after the equilibrium is
reached.
Vessels having this property are called calorimeters and analysis performed
using such vessels is called calorimetry.
The principle of conservation of energy for perfectly insulated container
requires that heat lost by warmer materials equals heat gained by
cooler materials. (That is if there is no heat loss to the external
surroundings)
From the principle of conservation of energy for the isolated system,

An aluminum cup contains 225g of water and a 40g copper stirrer, all at 27C. A
400g sample of silver at an initial temperature of 87C is placed in the water. The
stirrer is used to stir the mixture gently until it reaches its final equilibrium
temperature of 32. Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.
SOLUTION
The total energy absorbed by the cup, stirrer and water equals the energy given
up by the silver sample. Thus,

An engineer wishes to determine the specific heat of a new alloy. A 0.15kg
sample of the alloy is heated to 540C. It is then quickly placed in 400g of water
at 10.0C, which is contained in a 200g aluminum calorimeter cup. The final
temperature of the mixture is 30.5C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the
alloy. (The specific heats of water and aluminum are 4186J/kg C and 900J/kgC)

EXERCISE 14
A thermometer has a mass of 31.0 g, a specific heat capacity, c = 815 J/kgC and
a temperature of 12.0C. It is immersed in 119 g of water and the final
temperature of the water and thermometer is 41.5C. What was the temperature
of the water before the insertion of the thermometer?
SOLUTION
Since there is no heat lost or gained by the system, the heat lost by the water in
cooling down must be equal to the heat gained by the thermometer in warming
up. The heat Q lost or gained by a substance is given by Equation as Q = cmT,
where c is the specific heat capacity, m is the mass, and T is the change in
temperature. Thus, we have that

3.7 Heat and Phase Change: Latent Heat
In some situations, the transfer of energy does not result in a change in
temperature.
This occurred when the substance change from one form to another, which
referred to as a phase change.
Figure below summarizes the three familiar phases of matter (solid, liquid and
gas) and the phase changes that can occur between any two of them

Heat of vaporization : the heat required to change a substance from the
liquid to the vapor phase.
Figure below displays a graph that indicates what typically happens when
heat is added to a material that changes phase.
The graph shows the way temperature of water changes as heat is added,
starting with ice at -40C. The pressure is atmospheric pressure.
a) From -40 C to 0 C : no phase change occurs. The temperature of
the ice changes as heat is added. Amount of energy added is Q =
mciceT.
b) At 0 C : no temperature change occurs. the ice-water mixture
remains at this temperature even though energy is being added until
all the ice melts (phase change occurs) to become water at 0C. The
energy required to melt is Q = mLf
c) From 0 C to 100 C: no phase change occurs. The energy added to
the water is used to increase its temperature. The amount of energy
necessary to increase the temperature from 0C to 100C is Q =
mcwaterT.
d) At 100 C : another phase change occurs as the water changes to
steam. The water-steam mixture remains at constant temperature,
100C even though energy is being added until all the liquid has been
converted to steam. The energy required to convert water to steam at
100C is Q = mLv
e) Above 100 C : during this portion of the curve, no phase change
occurs, so all the energy added is used to increase the temperature of

Find the mass of water that vaporizes when 2.1 kg of mercury at 205 C is added
to 0.11 kg of water at 80.0C
SOLUTION
From the conservation of energy, the heat lost by the mercury is equal to the
heat gained by the water. As the mercury loses heat, its temperature decreases;
as the water gains heat, its temperature rises to its boiling point. Any remaining
heat gained by the water will then be used to vaporize the water.
According to Equation, the heat lost by the mercury is

solid at -25C is put into a 0.15kg aluminum calorimeter cup that contains 0.1kg
