Compound Bar

Description

Consisting of a joint less copper calorimeter 75 x 50 mm on rubber supports, spun outer copper vessel of 100 x 75 mm diameter copper lid for outer vessel with central tubule for thermometer and slit for copper stirrer with a looped copper stirrer for the inner vessel.

Description

To determine temperature at maximum density of water. Sheet iron cylinder and trough on a base with tubules for thermometers but without thermometers.

Description

To determine the co-efficient of absolute expansion of mercury. Glass tubes with vertical limbs contained within glass jackets approx. 460 x 25 mm height x diameter are closed by bungs and fitted with inlet and outlet tubes. Upper ends of these vertical limbs are angled on emergence from the jackets to produce two short, adjacent limbs placed against a silvered glass scale 0 to 12 cm x 1 mm. Mounted on stand 610 x 230 mm, height x width. Overall height 750 mm approx. supplied without mercury.

Description

Demonstrates the difference in thermal conductivity of two different materials. The kit consists of two identical blocks, one made of aluminum and other made of plastic. When an ice cube is placed on aluminum it turns into water in seconds, while on plastic block it melts slowly. The aluminum block has a larger heat capacity and a higher thermal conductivity while the plastic block has lower values of both parameters. With instructions.
