Question

Volume of an object is dependent upon its temperature in degree Celsius as V = a + bTC, what is the dependence of volume upon temperature in degree Rankine?

(a) V = a + 32b + 9bTR/5

(b) V = a + 492b + 9bTR/5

(c) V = a + 492b + 5bTR/9

(d) None of the mentioned

The question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Temperature in chapter Temperature and Pressure of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) V = a + 492b + 9bTR/5

For explanation: TC = 492 + 9TR/5, => V = a + b(492 + 9TR/5), => V = a + 492b + 9bTR/5.
