It might not be efficient nor practical, but is it possible to design a jack/lifting device only using a heater to heat a gas which will then move a platform/ram/piston (which does the lifting)? Try designing such a device that is capable of lifting a 1969 Chevy Corvette as high as 2 meters. Feel free to choose the fluid and devise the design (e.g. a single large cylinder or several?) As above make sure that you: - - - Provide sufficient calculations and justification State assumption where necessary Remember that the ideal gas assumption only applies for certain conditions Don't all your forget previous knowledge It might not be efficient nor practical, but is it possible to design a jack/lifting device only using a heater to heat a gas which will then move a platform/ram/piston (which does the lifting)?

Assuming that we are using an ideal gas the pressure exerted by the gas will be given by the equatio... View the full answer
