Chapter 8: Problem 1154

A Container that suits the occurrence of an isothermal process should be made of (A) Wood (B) Copper (C) glass (D) Cloth

Short Answer

Expert verified
The most suitable material for a container that experiences an isothermal process is the one with the highest thermal conductivity. Among the given options (wood, copper, glass, and cloth), copper has the highest thermal conductivity (\(385 W/mK\)). Hence, the correct answer is (B) Copper.

Step by step solution

01

Rank Thermal Conductivities

The first step is to know the thermal conductivities of all the materials given. Higher thermal conductivity means better heat transfer, keeping the temperature constant during the isothermal process. The thermal conductivities (in W/mK) are as follows: - Wood: \(0.04 - 0.12\) - Copper: \(385\) - Glass: \(0.8 - 1.1\) - Cloth: \(0.02 - 0.07\)
02

Identify the Material with Highest Thermal Conductivity

Based on the thermal conductivities provided above, we can clearly see that copper has the highest thermal conductivity (\(385 W/mK\)). This means that it can transfer heat most efficiently, making it a suitable material to build a container for an isothermal process.
03

Select the Answer

Since copper has the highest thermal conductivity among the given options, it is the most suitable material for a container that experiences an isothermal process. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Copper.
