Question

Fluids
A = 2804 cm3 B = 2862 cm2 C = 2916 cm3
Three separate fluids, A, B, and C have been selected at random and each initially fills a 3000 cm3 volume at atmospheric pressure. A gage pressure of 6 x 107 N/m2 is then applied to each fluid. The final volume is given below. Determine which fluids were selected from the given list.
Acetone E = 0.92 GPa Glycerin E = 4.35 GP
Water E = 2.15 GPa Mercury E = 28.5 GPa
Benzene E = 1.05 GPa Sulfuric Acid E = 3.0 GPa
Ethyl Alcohol E = 1.06 GPa Gasoline E = 1.3 GPa
Petrol E = 1.45 GPa Seawater E = 2.34 GPa

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Fluid A :

Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2804) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 196 x 10⁻⁶ m³

volume strain = Δ V / V  = 196 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶

= .06533

Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa

E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .06533 = 91.84 x 10⁷ Pa = .92 GPa .

It is Acetone .

Fluid B :

Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2862) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 138 x 10⁻⁶ m³

volume strain = Δ V / V  = 138 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶

= .046

Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa

E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .046 = 130.43  x 10⁷ Pa = 1.3  GPa .

It is Gasoline  .

Fluid C :

Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2916) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 84 x 10⁻⁶ m³

volume strain = Δ V / V  = 84 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶

= .028

Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa

E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .028 = 214.28 x 10⁷ Pa = 2.14  GPa .

It is Water   .
