Two identical systems, with heat capacity at a constant volume that varies as `C_(v) = bT^(3)` (where b is a constant) are thermally isolated. Initially, one system is at a temperature 100 K and the other is at 200K. The systems are then brought to thermal contact and the combined system is allowed reach thermal equilibrium. If `T_(0)^(4)=nxx10^(8)` then what will be the value of n, where `T_(0)` is the final temperature in kelvin?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two identical systems with heat capacities that vary as \( C_v = bT^3 \). One system is at 100 K and the other at 200 K. When they are brought into thermal contact, they will exchange heat until they reach thermal equilibrium at a final temperature \( T_0 \). ### Step 2: Write the Expression for Internal Energy The change in internal energy \( dU \) for a system at constant volume is given by: \[ dU = C_v dT = bT^3 dT \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Change in Internal Energy for Each System For the first system (initially at 100 K), the change in internal energy as it heats up from 100 K to \( T_0 \) is: \[ U_1 = \int_{100}^{T_0} bT^3 dT = \frac{b}{4} \left[ T^4 \right]_{100}^{T_0} = \frac{b}{4} (T_0^4 - 100^4) \] For the second system (initially at 200 K), the change in internal energy as it cools down from 200 K to \( T_0 \) is: \[ U_2 = \int_{200}^{T_0} bT^3 dT = \frac{b}{4} \left[ T^4 \right]_{T_0}^{200} = \frac{b}{4} (200^4 - T_0^4) \] ### Step 4: Set the Internal Energies Equal At thermal equilibrium, the total internal energy before contact equals the total internal energy after contact: \[ U_1 + U_2 = 0 \] This leads to: \[ \frac{b}{4} (T_0^4 - 100^4) = \frac{b}{4} (200^4 - T_0^4) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation We can cancel \( \frac{b}{4} \) from both sides (assuming \( b \neq 0 \)): \[ T_0^4 - 100^4 = 200^4 - T_0^4 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2T_0^4 = 200^4 + 100^4 \] \[ T_0^4 = \frac{200^4 + 100^4}{2} \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( 200^4 \) and \( 100^4 \) Calculating these values: \[ 200^4 = (2 \times 10^2)^4 = 16 \times 10^8 \] \[ 100^4 = (10^2)^4 = 10^8 \] Thus, \[ T_0^4 = \frac{16 \times 10^8 + 10^8}{2} = \frac{17 \times 10^8}{2} = 8.5 \times 10^8 \] ### Step 7: Identify \( n \) From the problem statement, we have: \[ T_0^4 = n \times 10^8 \] Comparing this with our result: \[ n = 8.5 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( n \) is: \[ \boxed{8.5} \]
