Ratio of Specific Heats – WirelessIn this experiment, the ratio of specific heat capacities for air is determined using Ruchardt’s method of measuring the period of oscillation of the piston in a cylinder filled with air.
Specific Heat – Wireless
Specific Heat – WirelessIn this experiment designed for use with PASCO Capstone software, students learn that materials can be identified using specific heat as a measurable characteristic. A known mass of water is used and the unknown material is placed in the water. The initial temperature of the water and the unknown material are measured. The equilibrium temperature is found and from this the specific heat of the unknown material is derived.

Thermal System Aluminium
Thermal System AluminiumThis new approach to measuring Specific Heat Capacity provides a self-contained apparatus to replace the traditional metal blocks and immersion heaters. A 300 g aluminium block (brass and steel also available) is mounted on an insulating base with a heating element attached to the underside. The block has a 4mm hole for data-logging probes, thermometer hole and felt insulating jacket. The heater is 30 W at 12 V and requires a standard laboratory power supply to provide up to 3 A. Typical temperature rises are 40 C in 5 minutes providing a convenient investigation for students using thermometers and stopwatches as well as computer based data systems. Full instructions and theory included.
