Suppose the temperature of a gas is 373.15 K when it is at the boiling point of water. What then is the limiting value of the ratio of the pressure of the gas at that boiling point to its pressure at the triple point of water? (Assume the volume of the gas is the same at both temperatures.)

Question
Evaporative cooling of beverages. A cold beverage can be kept cold even on a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water. Assume that energy lost to evaporation matches the net energy gained via the radiation exchange through the top and side surfaces. The container and beverage have temperature T # 15 C, the environment has temperature Tenv # 32 C, and the container is a cylinder with radius r # 2.2 cm and height 10 cm. Approximate the emissivity as # 1, and neglect other energy exchanges. At what rate dm/dt is the container losing water mass?
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 66 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Evaporative cooling of beverages. A cold beverage can be kept cold even on a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water. Assume that energy lost to evaporation matches the net energy gained via the radiation exchange through the top and side surfaces. The container and beverage have temperature T # 15 C, the environment has temperature Tenv # 32 C, and the container is a cylinder with radius r # 2.2 cm and height 10 cm. Approximate the emissivity as # 1, and neglect other energy exchanges. At what rate dm/dt is the container losing water mass?
