Thermodynamique
THERMODYNAMIQUE:
DILATATION THERMIQUE (Thermal Expansion).
Advantage
By using probeware to take measurements for the thermal expansion of a solid, students more clearly understand the relationship between change in temperature and change in length. The traditional method can lead to confusion, since students often use a multimeter to measure the resistance of a thermistor for their calculation of temperature change. The resistance of the thermistor actually decreases as its temperature increases, therefore students could mistakenly believe that change in length and change in temperature are inversely related.

With PASCOs Thermal Expansion Apparatus, students can accurately and easily investigate the expansion of metals with increasing temperature.
How It Works
Measure the length of a metal tube at room temperature. Then vary the temperature of the tube and remeasure its length to determine the coefficient of linear expansion. The concept is simple (L = LT).
Features
Built-in Dial Gauge: While some thermal expansion units only give single point readings of expansion, the PASCO dial gauge measures continuously as the rod expands and gives an accurate measure of the rod expansion (0.01 mm resolution). Built-in Thermistor: Temperature measurement is simple and accurate. Rather than measuring the temperature of the steam or water moving through the tubes, a 100 K thermistor is placed in direct contact with each tube. Equilibrium is quickly reached, and the temperature can be determined using a digital ohmmeter. (Resistance-to-temperature conversion table is permanently affixed to the base.) Heat with Steam or Water: Since the fluid moves through the tube, there is no troublesome water jacket. The fluid used may be steam or water at any temperature. Students dont need to know the temperature because the thermistor measures the tube temperature directly. This feature allows not only the calculation of the coefficient of linear expansion, but also the determination of the linearity of the relationship between L and T 3 Drop-in Metal Tubes: Each tube snaps neatly onto the rigid base. The other two can be simultaneously mounted on the base for convenient storage.

Measure Heat Flow Through 5 Different Materials Constant Temperature Differential Makes Calculations Easy Easy to Use, No Mess
Mesurez le Courant de la Chaleur travers 5 Matires Diffrentes La Diffrentielle de la Temprature constante Rend des Calculs Facile Facile Utiliser, Aucun Dsordre
One of the most important considerations for buildings in the modern world is their ability to provide good thermal insulation. This apparatus provides students a means of observing and quantifying heat flow across a constant temperature differential. Students use 5 common materials as test samples glass, wood, polycarbonate, Masonite and Sheetrock.
How It Works
A block of ice is placed against one side of the test material. The other side is clamped against a steam chamber, establishing a constant 100C temperature differential. The rate at which the ice is converted to water is a measure of the rate at which heat passes from the steam, through the test material and into the ice.
Features
No Mess: the water from the melting ice runs off into the measuring cup not on the lab table. Durable Test Materials: the wood, Masonite and Sheetrock are covered with a thin aluminum sheet for waterproofing and to ensure good thermal contact. Elevated Steam Reservoir: the hot reservoir is well above thelab table to eliminate heat damage. Includes:

The Thermal Efficiency Apparatus is a real heat engine that can be used to investigate and clarify the principles at work in Carnots ideal heat engine. Like Carnots model, it can be operated as a heat engine, converting heat into work, or operated in reverse as a heat pump, transferring heat from a cold source to a hot source. Results are typically accurate to better than 5%.
How it Works
The key element is a Peltier device, a semiconductor that turns thermal energy into electrical energy. The device is sandwiched between 2 blocks of aluminum which act as the hot and cold reservoirs (see the diagram). One block is water-cooled using the built-in pump. The other is electrically heated. A 100 k thermistor is implanted in each block so temperatures can be measured with a digital ohmmeter. The energy supplied to this heat engine is the electrical energy used to heat the aluminum block. The heat engine does work by running a current through the load resistor. Both the energy in and the work out are easily determined by measuring currents and voltages. Then its simple to calculate the real efficiency of the engine (power out/power in) as a function of the operating temperatures. By investigating other modes of operation, energy losses can be measured. Students can use these results to determine the Carnot efficiency and to compare it with the theoretical value for each set of operating temperatures.

A heat engine converts thermal energy into work. First, heat is extracted from a hot reservoir. Part of that heat is used to perform work, and the rest is exhausted into a cold reservoir.

As a Heat Pump . . .
A heat pump is just a heat engine run in reverse. Normally, heat flows from hot to cold. But a heat pump uses work to pump heat from a cold reservoir into a hot reservoir.
Diagram of Heat Engine Operation: both real and Carnot efficiency can be determined for each set of operating temperatures
Diagram of Heat Pump Operation: the actual coefficient of performance and the theoretical maximum coefficient of performance can be determined.

In this experiment, the ratio of specific heat capacities for air is determined using Ruchhardt's Method of measuring the period of oscillation of the piston in a cylinder filled with air. A cylinder is filled with air and a Pressure Sensor is attached. The piston is plucked by hand and allowed to oscillate. The oscillating pressure is recorded as a function of time and the period is determined. The ratio of specific heat capacities is calculated using the period of oscillation, according to Ruchhardts method. Advantage Since the oscillations are plotted, it is easy to accurately measure the period of oscillation.

Efficacit Du Moteur Thermique Le Processe Isothermique Le Processe Isobarique Loi Des Gaz Idale
A P-V diagram is generated as a heat engine is taken through a cycle. From this diagram, the heat added to the gas and the work done by the engine is measured to determine the efficiency of the engine. This actual efficiency is compared to the theoretical maximum efficiency. This heat engine consists of air inside a cylinder which expands when the attached can is immersed in hot water. The expanding air pushes on a piston and does work by lifting a weight. The heat engine cycle is completed by immersing the can in cold water, which returns the air pressure and volume to the starting values. The cycle is performed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. With the can in the cold bath, the 200 g mass is placed on the platform. The can is moved from the cold bath to the hot bath. The 200 g mass is removed from the platform. The can is moved from the hot bath to the cold bath.
The change in pressure is measured with a Low Pressure Sensor. The change in piston height is measured by the attached string over the Rotary Motion Sensor pulley. The change in volume is calculated by multiplying the change in piston height by the piston cross-sectional area. Experiment Includes:
