Solution: Ensuring a Tight Fit. Aluminum rivets used in

Chapter 17, Problem 17.14

(choose chapter or problem)

Ensuring a Tight Fit. Aluminum rivets used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by “dry ice” (solid \(\mathrm {CO}_2\)) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 4.500 mm, what should be the diameter of a rivet at \(23.0^\circ \mathrm C\) if its diameter is to equal that of the hole when the rivet is cooled to\(-78.0^\circ \mathrm C\) , the temperature of dry ice? Assume that the expansion coefficient remains constant at the value given in Table 17.1.
