  • Preparing Wetsuits
    Lesson: Learning About Textiles Preparing Wetsuits Step 1: Create a Control Wetsuit Materials Needed: 2 zipper plastic baggies Creating the Control Wetsuit: Turn one baggie inside out and then place it inside the other baggie. Squeeze out as much air as possible and zipper the inside baggie to the outside baggie. Check to make sure you can put your hand inside your control wetsuit. Be sure the zippers are zipped together! Lesson: Learning About Textiles Step 2: Create a Feather Wetsuit Materials Needed: 2 zipper baggies 2 cups of feathers Creating the Feather Wetsuit: Place the 2 cups of feathers inside one of the baggies. Turn the other baggie inside out and then place it inside the baggie with the feathers. Make sure to keep the feathers between the two baggies. Squeeze out as much air as possible and zipper the inside baggie to the outside baggie. Gently use your fingers to spread the feathers evenly around both sides of the baggie. Check to make sure you can put your hand inside your feather wetsuit.

  • Physics 4311 ANSWERS: Sample Problems for Exam #2 (1)Short
    Physics 4311 ANSWERS: Sample Problems for Exam #2 (1)Short answer questions: (a) Consider an isolated system that consists of several subsystems interacting thermally and mechanically with each other. What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics say about the entropies of the subsystems when the system is undergoing a change? ANS: The Second Law says that the sum of the subsystem entropy changes can never decrease. It doesn’t say anything about the change for any individual subsystem. (b) Two thermally interacting subsystems form a thermally isolated composite system. The subsystems have identical total energies and pressures, but different values of $. Will net heat transfer occur between the subsystems, and if so, in which direction will it occur? ANS: Since the $ values are different, the subsystems are not in thermal equilibrium, and heat transfer will occur. Energy will be transferred from the subsystem with the lower value of $ to the subsystem with the higher value of $. (c) Briefly describe what happens to a macroscopic system’s microscopic quantum states and how the states are populated when the system’s energy changes by means of heat transfer or when work is done on (or by) the system. Use words not equations. ANS: Heat transfer changes which states are occupied, but doesn’t affect the energies of the states. Work changes the energies of the states. States may also be created or destroyed by varying external system parameters, i.e., by doing work. (d) When a system undergoes an adiabatic change of state, what must happen for its energy to change? ANS: For an adiabatic change, Q = 0, and the First Law states that )E = !W.

  • Rubber Bands, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and Entropy
    Rubber Bands, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and Entropy One of the main causes for a rubber bands’ incredible elasticity can be attributed to entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. According to this law, a system or body will move from a state of order to another state of disorder naturally. And entropy can be defined as lack of order in a system. Take the case of a rubber band. The individual molecules that make up the rubber band are called polymers. These polymers are chemically linked to one another via a natural process called crosslinking to form a single giant molecule. In fact, it is this crosslinking that help the rubber band retain its shape after being stretched out. The crosslinks keep the polymers tied together in spite of them being stretched. In the absence of these crosslinks, the polymers would fail to come back together again and the rubber band would fail to retain its original shape, thus becoming deformed. This usually happens after the rubber band is stretched repeatedly a number of times (the crosslinks become weak and would not be able to tie the polymers together again). What exactly happens when rubber bands are stretched? The individual polymers present in a rubber band are usually coiled around each other in a tangled, haphazard arrangement. When the band is stretched, these polymers lengthen out to form an ordered line with all the molecules facing the same direction. This is where the entropy we talked about comes into play. When the force applied on the rubber band is removed, the polymers get a natural urge to return back to their original entropic state, aka the tangled form.

    Statistical Molecular Thermodynamics Christopher J. Cramer Video 8.5 Rubber Band Thermodynamics Stretching a Rubber Band A restoring force f is present when a rubber band is stretched to be longer than its equilibrium length—for modest displacements, f is a constant independent of length l Work must be done on the rubber band to stretch it, and that work is given by: δw = fdl − PdV non-PV work PV work Note that f is positive as work is done on the sytem to increase€ the rubber band length Δl Isothermal Stretching We can safely assume that the volume change of the rubber band is negligible for small stretches, in which case for an isothermal stretch, we will be working at constant T and V; this suggests that we should consider the Helmholtz free energy.

  • The Thermodynamic Properties of Elastomers: Equation of State and Molecular Structure
    CH 351L Wet Lab 4 / p. 1 The Thermodynamic Properties of Elastomers: Equation of State and Molecular Structure Objective To determine the macroscopic thermodynamic equation of state of an elastomer, and relate it to its microscopic molecular properties. Introduction We are all familiar with the very useful properties of such objects as rubber bands, solid rubber balls, and tires. Materials such as these, which are capable of undergoing large reversible extensions and compressions, are called elastomers. An example of such a material is natural rubber, obtained from the plant Hevea brasiliensis. An elastomer has rather unusual physical properties; for example, an ordinary elastic band can be stretched up to 15 times its original length and then be restored to its original size. Although we might initially consider elastomers to be a solids, many have isothermal compressibilities comparable with that of liquids (e.g. toluene), about 10-4 atm-1 (compared with solids such as polystyrene or aluminum which have values of ~10–6 atm–1). Certain evidence suggests that an elastomer is a disordered "solid," i.e., a glass, that cannot flow as a result of internal, structural restrictions. The reversible deformability of an elastomer is reminiscent of a gas. In fact the term elastic was first used by Robert Boyle (1660) in describing a gas, "There is a spring or elastical power in the air in which we live." In this experiment, you will encounter certain formal thermodynamic similarities between an elastomer and a gas. One of the rather dramatic and anomalous properties of an elastomer is that once brought to an extended form, it contracts upon heating.

  • Physiological Response of Female Sport Divers to Exercise During Treadmill and Underwater Workbouts
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessaiy, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
