  • Thermodinamics

    The valve is open rapidly and quickly shut off when pressure in the bomb reaches 0.6MPa, The steel pipe is long enough so that, close to reaching the bomb, the temperature of the air in the pipe is ambient (300K).

  • Heating effects

    Coefficient of linear expansion, a = 11 * 10^(-6)/degree C Because, expansion, delta(L) = a*L*delta(T) => delta(length of pipe) = 2pi*delta(R) = a*(2pi*R)*delta(T) => delta(R) = 11*10^(-6)*40000*1/(2*pi) km => delta(R) = 11*10^(-6)*40000*1/(2*3.1514
